Vincenzo Grecchi, Andrea Sacchetti Molecular localization induced by collisions (58K, Latex with 2 PostScript files) ABSTRACT. We consider a periodically driven double well potential as a dynamical model for molecular localization induced by collisions. If the frequency of the collisions is high enough, we have effective localization, due to the larger instability of one of the metastable states. We show also that the red shift effect of the inversion line can be given by this model.
