The Symmetrical Top in Wave Mechanics
Abstract
IN a recent issue of NATURE (Dec. 4, 1926, p. 805) there appeared a letter of Messrs. R. de L. Kronig and I. I. Rabi, in which they gave, on the basis of the new wave mechanics of Schrödinger, an expression for the energy of a symmetrical rotator, i.e. a rigid polyatomic molecule having two equal moments of inertia.
