漫游反应中，解离碎片穿过势能面的平坦区域而非沿最小能量路径移动，这超出了传统过渡态理论的假设。针对\(\mathrm{CH_4^+}\to\mathrm{CH_3^+}+\mathrm{H}\)的切斯纳维奇模型已发展出漫游的相空间理论，该模型是圆柱对称且简化为两个自由度（2 - DoF）。本文构建并分析了一个三自由度（3 - DoF）扩展模型。从埃兹拉和威金斯的刚体公式出发，通过方位耦合打破对称性，得到一族\(H_b\)，其在\(b = 0\)时的平面约化恰好是 2 - DoF 模型，\(b>0\)时为真正的 3 - DoF 模型。这立即激活了平面外自由度，任意弱耦合使漫游架上的周期轨道横向不稳定，打开了从反应平面逃逸的通道。除了狭窄的椭圆窗口\(0.58\lesssim b\lesssim0.63\)，在所研究的范围内不稳定性持续存在，在\(b_c\approx0.63\)处通过倍周期分岔改变类型。由于周期轨道不能在三个自由度中锚定分割面，我们在\(b = 0\)时构建了能锚定的对象——三个三维正常双曲不变流形，每个过渡态一个，并证明每个的每个紧致内部部分在足够小的\(b>0\)时都持续存在。在\(E = 0.5\ \mathrm{kcal\,mol^{-1}}\)时，耦合使入射轨迹的微正则系综的直接非反应分数降低\(0.032\)，并使两个漫游分数提高\(0.040\)；随着能量增加，这种效应减小。
英文摘要
Roaming reactions, in which a dissociating fragment moves through a flat region of the potential surface rather than down the minimum-energy path, lie outside the assumptions of conventional transition state theory. The phase-space theory of roaming -- unstable periodic orbits and their invariant manifolds organizing transport -- has been developed for the Chesnavich model of $\mathrm{CH_4^+}\to\mathrm{CH_3^+}+\mathrm{H}$, which is cylindrically symmetric and reduces to two degrees of freedom (2-DoF). We construct and analyze a three-degree-of-freedom (3-DoF) extension. From the rigid-body formulation of Ezra and Wiggins, we break the symmetry with an azimuthal coupling respecting the three-fold ($C_3$) symmetry of the methyl fragment, obtaining a family $H_b$ whose planar reduction at $b=0$ is the 2-DoF model exactly and which is genuinely 3-DoF for $b>0$. This activates the out-of-plane degree of freedom at once: with the physical planar-top inertia ratio $I_z=2I_x$, arbitrarily weak coupling makes the periodic orbit on the roaming shelf transversely unstable, opening an escape route out of the reaction plane. Apart from a narrow elliptic window $0.58\lesssim b\lesssim0.63$, the instability persists across the range studied, changing type through a period-doubling at $b_c\approx0.63$. Because a periodic orbit cannot anchor a dividing surface in three degrees of freedom, we construct the objects that do -- three three-dimensional normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds, one per transition state -- at $b=0$, and prove that every compact interior piece of each persists for sufficiently small $b>0$. At $E=0.5\ \mathrm{kcal\,mol^{-1}}$ the coupling lowers the direct non-reactive fraction of a microcanonical ensemble of incoming trajectories by $0.032$ and raises the two roaming fractions by $0.040$; the effect decreases as the energy increases.
