Abstract

A method for constructing Jahn-Teller coupled vibronic states is developed by projecting distorted electronic eigenstates onto undistorted states and, with the aid of irreducible tensor methods, the force constants can be identified with reduced matrix elements of the normal mode expansion of the vibrational Hamiltonian. A scheme is then realized for estimating the force constants as well as the total vibronic energy from the calculated energie of the distorted electronic states. An application of the method to the 1 E ⊗E vibronic state of the neutral silicon vacancy is presented as an illustration
