Unraveling the highly nonlinear dynamics of KCN molecular system using Lagrangian descriptors

In this work, we identify the phase-space structures which are responsible for the chaotic dynamics observed in KCN molecular system using the Lagrangian descriptors. We show that the vibrational dynamics of this molecule is strongly determined by the invariant manifolds associated with a particular...

Sumario:In this work, we identify the phase-space structures which are responsible for the chaotic dynamics observed in KCN molecular system using the Lagrangian descriptors. We show that the vibrational dynamics of this molecule is strongly determined by the invariant manifolds associated with a particular stretching periodic orbit previously described (Párraga et al., 2018). Likewise, the representation of these invariant manifolds on a Poincaré surface of section is also studied, concluding that the intricate depiction that is observed has its origin in the complex behavior of the manifolds, which is a consequence of the strong anharmonicities in the potential energy surface
