Abstract

In this article the authors relate the possibility that an intense electric field affects topological features of a molecular system. For this purpose they studied a model based on the Mathieu equation. They found that such a field may affect the spatial distribution of the nonadiabatic coupling terms but not the position of the intersections. In other words an intense electric field does not create or annihilate conical intersections. It is shown that this conclusion is valid as long as the field is an analytic function of the coordinates in the region of interest. These findings can be extended to magnetic fields (or electromagnetic fields) as long as they are analytic functions in the region of interest.
