Lv. Ilichov, ALGEBRAIC PHENOMENOLOGICAL MODEL FOR MOLECULAR ROTATIONAL RELAXATION, Journal of physics. A, mathematical and general, 30(13), 1997, pp. 4773-4782
The prototype quantum master equation is proposed for modelling molecu
lar rotational relaxation caused by isotropic perturbation. Using the
detailed balance relation and dissipative properties of the master equ
ation, we can considerably diminish the number of parameters specifyin
g the model. This allows one to evaluate the Heisenberg operator of mo
lecular angular momentum.
