Abstract
We show the influence of stable and unstable periodic orbits on the energy eigenstates of the HOCl molecule, both below and above dissociation. The energy range considered is low enough to hold the HO bond fixed, allowing a two-dimensional model of the molecule. Above dissociation unstable periodic orbits, in a chaotic sea, anchor quasibound states of the molecule. Quasibound states are calculated using reaction matrix theory and are found to have lifetimes ranging over five orders of magnitude.
