Abstract

A multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree method based recipe is used to study the role of mass and electrical asymmetry in controlling the quantum dynamics of relaxation of a locally excited O-H bond in a water molecule, modeled by a pair of interacting Morse oscillators. The fast periodic energy transfer between the two equivalent O-H bonds in H-O-H is replaced by a rather slow process when one of the H atom is replaced by a deuterium atom. Application of static electric field along the O-D bond in HOD molecule is seen to either enhance or damp the relaxation rate, depending on the strength of the applied field.
