Vibrational Spectra of Nonrigid Molecule HCP in an Algebraic Model

An algebraic Hamiltonian for the two coupled nonlinear vibrations of highly excited nonrigid molecule HCP was presented. The Hamiltonian reduces to the conventional one in a limit which was expressed in terms of harmonic oscillator operators. It showed that the algebraic model can better reproduce the data than the conventional model by fitting the observed data of HCP.
