A natural scheme for the quantitative analysis of the magnetically induced molecular current density using an oriented flux-weighted stagnation graph. II. Stagnation line branching and homodiatomics
Abstract
We have previously introduced a new “natural” scheme to quantitatively analyze the magnetically induced molecular current density vector field, $J^B$, via the oriented flux-weighted stagnation graph (OFW-SG). In this work, we exemplify the procedure via the analytic examples of (a) one single vortex, (b) a superposition of two vortices, and (c) a poloidal vortex, and subsequently, we investigate a series of homodiatomic molecules, where, in addition to the features of LiH we reported about in the first paper of this series, instances of the current vortex configuration (b) are occurring. We call this configuration “single stagnation line branching” and give a topological and quantitative current density analysis using OFW- SGs.
