Abstract:

Multi-dimensional coupled-channel equation is treated by the WKB approximation for the main purpose of deriving the semi-classical quantization rule for it. A somewhat general type of the multi-dimensional coupled-channel Hamiltonian is presented which enables us to derive the semiclassical quantization rule for the energy spectra. As in the one-dimensional case, the WKB wave function has an additional phase besides the usual phase \intΣps dxs, and the quantization rule should include the contribution from this additional phase. The structure of the WKB wave function in the adiabatic representation is also discussed.
