One of the most spectacular yet unsolved problems for the ICN ‐band photodissociation is the non‐statistical spin‐rotationF1=N+ 1/2 andF2=N− 1/2 populations for each rotation levelNof the CN fragment. TheF1/F2population difference functionf(N) exhibits strongNandλdependences with an oscillatory behavior. Such details were found to critically depend on the number of open‐channel product states, namely, whether both I (2P3/2) and I (2P1/2) are energetically available or not as the dissociation partner. First, in the asymptotic region, the exchange and dipole‐quadrupole inter‐fragment interactions were studied in detail. Then, as the diabatic basis, we took the appropriate symmetry adapted products of the electronic and rotational wavefunctions for theF1andF2levels at the dissociation limits. We found that the adiabatic Hamiltonian exhibits Rosen–Zener–Demkov type nonadiabatic transitions reflecting the switch between the exchange interaction and the small but finite spin‐rotation interaction within CN at the asymptotic region. This non‐crossing type nonadiabatic transition occurs with the probability 1/2, that is, at the diabatic limit through a sudden switch of the quantization axis for CN spinSfrom the dissociation axis to the CN rotation axisN. We have derived semiclassical formulae forf(N) and the orientation parameters with a two‐state model including the 3A′ and 4A′ electronic states, and with a four‐state model including the 3A′ through 6A′ electronic states. These two kinds of interfering models explain general features of theF1andF2level populations observed by Zare's group and Hall's group, respectively. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
