• Abstract: Nonadiabatic phenomena are investigated in the rovibrational motion of molecules confined in an infrared cavity. Conical intersections (CIs) between vibrational polaritons, similar to CIs between electronic polaritonic surfaces, are found. The spectral, topological, and dynamic properties of the vibrational polaritons show clear fingerprints of nonadiabatic couplings between molecular vibration, rotation and the cavity photonic mode. Furthermore, it is found that for the investigated system, composed of two rovibrating HCl molecules and the cavity mode, breaking the molecular permutational symmetry, by changing $^{35}$Cl to $^{37}$Cl in one of the HCl molecules, the polaritonic surfaces, nonadiabatic couplings, and related spectral, topological, and dynamic properties can deviate substantially. This implies that the natural occurrence of different molecular isotopologues needs to be considered when modeling realistic polaritonic systems.

  The study investigates relaxation dynamics of an ensemble of molecules following intense resonant pump excitation in Fabry-Perot cavities and at three-dimensional plasmonic metasurfaces. The simulations reveal dramatically modified relaxation pathways inside cavities compared to free space, characterized by persistent molecular alignment. They also indicate the presence of a previously unreported relaxation stabilization mechanism driven by dephasing of the collective molecular-cavity mode.

We identify a coupling mechanism mediated simultaneously by the two perpendicular polarizations, and inducing polaritonic relaxation towards molecular rotations. Our simulations indicate that the molecular rotational dynamics in gas-phase cavity-coupled systems can serve as a novel probe for non-radiative polaritonic decay towards the dark-states manifold.
