Phys. Rev. A 68, 042502 (2003) [10 pages]Classical approach to effective rotational energy and bifurcation in rotational dynamics of H2X moleculesReceived 16 June 2003; published 10 October 2003 A classical method of effective rotational energy describing the molecular rotation is analyzed from the viewpoint of relative equilibria approach. Explicit formulas for the effective rotational energy up to sixth order in angular-momentum components are derived and compared with the results of quantum approach. The method is applied to get the analytical description of bifurcation in rotational dynamics of H2X molecules without the suggestion of constant bond length. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
