Abstract
In our previous work, we have developed an algorithm for calculating the tunnelling splittings using path integral instanton method with the discretised imaginary time approach. Our algorithm has enabled us to take a zero temperature limit, efficiently and accurately. In this paper, we investigate the effect of isotopomers on the tunnelling splittings and semiclassical tunnelling paths of a hydrogen transfer in a model molecular system HO2.
