Abstract
A study of the dynamical characteristics of the phase space corresponding to the vibrations of the LiNC-LiCN molecule using an analysis based on the small alignment index (SALI) is presented. SALI is a good indicator of chaos that can easily determine whether a given trajectory is regular or chaotic regardless of the dimensionality of the system, and can also provide a wealth of dynamical information when conveniently implemented. In two-dimensional (2D) systems SALI maps are computed as 2D phase space representations, where the SALI asymptotic values are represented in color scale. We show here how these maps provide full information on the dynamical phase space structure of the LiNC-LiCN system, even quantifying numerically the volume of the different zones of chaos and regularity as a function of the molecule excitation energy.
