Abstract

The effect of the coupling between the valence state B²Π and the Rydberg state C²Π on the absorption spectrum of the NO molecule is studied by using the quantum wave packet dynamics method. The results show that the coupling between the valence state B²Π and the Rydberg state C²Π affects the C²Π ← X²Π absorption spectrum both in the intensity and on the location of spectrum peaks. The dynamics of the wave packet of the excited states is also described. One part of the wave packet evolves on the Rydberg state C²Π and the other is trapped in the valence state B²Π.
