Abstract

We calculate the rovibrational bound levels with total angular momentum J = 0, 1 of ⁴⁰Ar₂⁸⁴Kr trimer using the slow variable discretization method combined with the finite-element method-discrete variable representation basis. The statistical distributions of the rovibrational levels for J^Π=0^e, 1^e, and 1^o symmetries are presented and the effects of the Axilrod-Teller potential term are considered. For the 0^e and 1^e symmetries, the Axilrod-Teller term makes the spectra become fully chaotic. However, for the 1^o symmetry, statistical properties depend mainly on the coupling between K = 0 and K = 1 and the Axilrod-Teller term has a small effect.
