vibronic
- adjective
- /vaɪˈbrɒnɪk/
- Specialized
- If the electronic states are sufficiently well separated, the vibronic corrections can be treated as perturbative.
Examples
-
In general, corrections to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation in molecular calculations arise from so-called vibronic couplings, which link the electronic states to the nuclear motion.
Academic text (2004) -
When analyzing molecules, vibronic effects must be considered to accurately model their energy levels.
-
If you have a complex and of vibronic mechanism, you increase the current.
-
And so, but usually when you, you do a vibronic coupling calculation, you keep the lowest order terms.
-
And so the rotational structure observed carefully tells you which of these two vibronic coupling mechanisms it is.
-
The study of vibronic transitions helps scientists understand molecular behavior at a deeper level.
-
Researchers discovered that vibronic interactions play a crucial role in determining the color of certain crystals.

Morphology
vibronic = vibron (semi-transparent) = vibron + ic
Formally derived from the technical noun 'vibron' plus the adjectival suffix '-ic'; the morphological structure is regular but understanding requires specialist knowledge.
Etymology
Vibronic comes from joining the familiar words vibration ('a shaking movement') and electronic ('relating to electricity'), so it names things that involve both a molecule's vibrations and its electronic parts; that's why scientists use vibronic for combined vibrational and electronic states in molecules.
