Chart plots of donor (D), bridge (B), and acceptor (A) diabatic wavefunctions for a three state delta function model. — Plots of donor (D), bridge (B), and acceptor (A) diabatic wavefunctions for a three state delta function model. Note the extended tails and density at centers where each state is not primarily localized.
