On a semiclassical approach to energy transfer in polyatomic molecules

A semiclassical method for energy transfer in polyatomic molecules is suggested. The method is based on a partial quantization of the vibrational degrees of freedom. The remaining degrees of freedom are treated classically. As an example a system with three quantum coordinates is considered. The Coriolis coupling terms are taken into account in the quantum mechanical part of the system and discussed for the N2 + C02 system. (Auth.)
