Limitations and defects in the existing literature on the subject are reviewed. Two-term approximations of considerable importance in the phase-integral analysis of four-transition-point problems are obtained. Several examples required in the analysis of double underdense-potential-barrier problems are given. It is pointed out that such potential barrier problems are associated with perturbed symmetric resonance strong rotational coupling and curve-crossing in atom-atom collision theory. New model transition probabilities are presented.","PeriodicalId":54612,"journal":{"name":"Physics-A Journal of General and Applied Physics","volume":"35 1","pages":"1680-1688"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1972-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88933130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
