Abstract

A model for describing the states of a molecular system trapped in a cavity created by a fast-rotating strong magnetic field is proposed and implemented. All-particle explicitly correlated Gaussian functions with shifted centers are employed in the model to expand the wave functions of the system. Both “internal” states associated with the system’s rovibrational and electronic motions and the “external” states associated with translational motion of the center of mass of the system in the cavity are calculated. The states are visualized by density plots. The model is applied to a trapped HD molecule.
