Quantum monodromy in NCNCS – direct experimental confirmation

04 Apr 2024  |  pubs.rsc.org
Quantum monodromy in NCNCS has been directly confirmed through experimental campaigns at the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, without relying on theoretical models. The Generalised SemiRigid Bender (GSRB) model's predictions from 2005 have been validated, with only minor adjustments needed to fit the new data. This research builds on the initial confirmation by B. P. Winnewisser and colleagues, demonstrating the GSRB model's effectiveness in extracting quantum energy level information from rotational data.
