DATA AND FILE OVERVIEW

This file contains the data used to produce the figures in the paper 'Making molecules by mergoassociation: two atoms in nonspherical optical traps' by Robert C. Bird, C. Ruth Le Sueur, and Jeremy M. Hutson

The data, as well as some example input files for the MOLSCAT program, for each Figure has its own file. This is not true of Figures 1 and 2, which are schematics, and we briefly explain here. The energy levels in Figure 1 (black lines) were constructed from the states of the spherical trap given in Figure 3. The drawings of tweezers were made in powerpoint. Figure 2 (a) was constructed in powerpoint. The contours in Figure 2 (b) were produced with matplotlib although annotations were added in powerpoint.
