| Abstract: | A diatomic molecule modeled by a Morse oscillator is shown to undergo dissociation if the external electric field, in which the molecule is placed, undergoes discontinuous reversals. A threshold frequency of reversal is found to exist. The classical behavior is compared with its quantum counterpart. The mechanism of dissociation is analyzed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
