Asymmetric Top Transition Moments

The following types of transition moments are currently implemented for asymmetric tops:

• Cartesian - conventional a, b or c electric dipole moment components.
• Spherical - electric dipole moment in spherical tensor form, appropriate for multiphoton or Raman transitions.
• Orbital - the magnetic moment from electron spin, which includes residual orbital angular momentum.
  
• Rotational - the magnetic moment from molecular rotation
• Nuclear - the magnetic moment of a nucleus
