Abstract

The spherical limit of a single particle in the field of three nuclei is shown to exhibit a variety of phenomena associated with the stability of the various extrema involved. Some consequences with respect to the general problem of detecting broken symmetry solutions of variational problems are pointed out.

Ever since establishment of the 'cold fusion' phenomenon, many attempts are made to explain its origin. Barut and w x Vigier 1 suggested that the observed 'excess heat' in cold fusion experiments could be related to the new tightly bound states of the hydrogen atom. These states are due to electroma

The typical shallowness of the potential surfaces of weakly bound clusters implies sizable ground-state vibrational excursions in the weak modes, a feature often complicated by considerable anharmonicity. The difficulties of vibrational analysis are exacerbated as the number of weak modes increases
