Abstract: The single particle's chaotic motion in the potential of a prolate harmonic oscillator plus Y32+Y3-2 non-axial octupole deformation was systematically analyzed from the classical and quantum-mechanical viewpoint. The classical trajectory stability analysis showed that the characteristics of the potential surface would be important for the particle's motion. By investigating the phenomena of avoided level crossing in the system and the evolution of the coherent initial state, it is found that the non-axial feature of octupole deformation potential can make the single particle to go to chaos easier.
