Product polarization distribution: Stereodynamics of the reaction of atom H and radical NH

The product angular momentum polarization of the reaction of H+NH is calculated via the quasiclassical trajectory method (QCT) based on the extended London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato (LEPS) potential energy surface (PES) at a collision energy of 5.1 kcal/mol. The calculated results of the vector correlations are denoted by using the angular distribution functions. The polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs) demonstrate that the rotational angular momentum of the product H2 is aligned and oriented along the direction perpendicular to the scattering plane. Vector correlation shows that the angular momentum of the product H₂ is aligned in the plane perpendicular to the velocity vector. It suggests that the reaction proceeds preferentially when the reactant velocity vector lies in a plane containing all three atoms. The orientation and alignment of the product angular momentum affects the scattering direction of the product molecules. The polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs) reveal that scattering is predominantly in the backward hemisphere.      

Stereodynamics study of the H′（^2S） ＋ NH（X^3∑-） 〉 N（4S） ＋ H2 reaction

The stereodynamics and reaction mechanism of the H′（^2S） ＋ NH （X^3∑^-） → N（^4S） ＋ H2 reaction are thoroughly studied at collision energies in the 0.1 eV-1.0 eV range using the quasiclassical trajectory （QCT） on the ground 4A″ potential energy surface （PES）. The distributions of vector correlations between products and reagents P（φr）, P（φr） and P（φr,φr） are presented and discussed. The results indicate that product rotational angular momentum j′ is not only aligned, but also oriented along the direction perpendicular to the scattering plane; further, the product H2 presents different rotational polarization behaviors for different collision energies. Furthermore, four polarization-dependent differential cross sections （PDDCSs） of the product He are also calculated at different collision energies. The reaction mechanism is analyzed based on the stereodynamics properties. It is found that the abstraction mechanism is appropriate for the title reaction.

Isotope effect on the stereodynamics for the collision reaction H＋LiF（v = 0, j = 0） → HF＋Li

Stereodynamics for the reaction H+LiF(v=0, j=0) → HF+Li and its isotopic variants on the ground-state (1 2 A′) potential energy surface (PES) are studied by employing the quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method. At a collision energy of 1.0 eV, product rotational angular momentum distributions P (θr), P (φr), and P (θr ,φr), are calculated in the center-of-mass (CM) frame. The results demonstrate that the product rotational angular momentum j′ is not only aligned along the direction perpendicular to the reagent relative velocity vector k, but also oriented along the negative y axis. The four generalized polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs) are also computed. The PDDCS 00 distribution shows a preferential forward scattering for the product angular distribution in each of the three isotopic reactions, which indicates that the title collision reaction is a direct reaction mechanism. The isotope effect on the stereodynamics is revealed and discussed in detail.

The influences of the collision energy and the reagent rotation on the product polarization are studied in the present work. The results indicate that the product rotational angular momentum j' is not only aligned, but also oriented along the direction perpendicular to the scattering plane. The product polarization distributions of the title reaction and its isotopic variants exhibit distinct differences which may arise from different mass combinations.

运用准经典轨线方法(QCT), 基于Abrahamsson等构造的⁴A"势能面(Abrahamsson E Andersson S, Nyman G, Markovic N 2008 Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 10 4400), 在碰撞能为0.06 eV时, 对C(³P)+NO(X²Π )→CO(X¹Σ⁺)+N(⁴S)反应立体动力学性质进行了理论研究. 在考虑反应物NO转动和振动激发的条件下, 计算了质心坐标系下k-j'矢量(k与j'分别为反应物速度与产物角动量)相关的P(θ_r)分布和k-k'-j'矢量(k'为产物相对速度)相关的P(φ_r)分布. 此外还计算了该反应的三个极化微分截面(2π/σ)(dσ₀₀/dω_t), (2π/σ)(dσ₂₀/dω_t)以及(2π/σ)(dσ₂₂+dω_t). 计算结果表明转动和振动激发对产物取向影响较大而对定向影响较小; 对于三个极化微分截面, 转动激发的影响不大, 而振动激发的影响则较大.

The stereodynamic properties of the F + HO (v,j)→HF + O reaction on the 1A' and 3A' potential energy surfaces by quasi-classical trajectory: Initial excitation effect (v =1-3, j = 0 and v = 0, j =1-3)

The stereodynamic properties of the F + HO (v, j) reaction are explored by quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations performed on the ¹A' and ³A' potential energy surfaces (PESs). Based on the polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs) and the angular distributions of the product angular momentum with the reactant at different values of initial v or j, the results show that the product scattering and product polarization have strong links with initial vibrational-rotational numbers of v and j. The significant manifestation of the normal DCSs is that the forward scattering gradually becomes predominant with the initial vibrational excitation increasing, and the scattering angle of the HF product taking place on the ³A' potential energy surface is found to be more sensitive to the initial value of v. The product orientation and alignment are strongly dependent on the initial rovibrational excitation effect. With enhancement in the initial rovibrational excitation effect, there is an overall decrease in the product orientation as well as in the product alignment either perpendicular to the reagent relative velocity vector k or along the direction of the y axis, for which the initial rotational excitation effect is much more noticeable than the vibrational excitation effect. Moreover, the initial rovibrational excitation effect on the product polarization is more pronounced for the ³A' potential energy surface than for the ¹A' potential energy surface.     

Vector correlations of the reaction O(1D) + H2 on the DK potential energy surface

This paper reports on the angular momentum polarization of the products of the reaction O(¹D₂) + H₂ via the quasiclassical trajectory (QCT) calculation on the DK (Dobbyn and Knowles) potential energy surface (PES). The four polarization-dependent differential cross-sections (PDDCS) (0, 0), (2, 0), (2, 2), (2, ?1) were calculated at different collision energies. The vector correlation between reagent velocity and product angular moment, the vector correlation between reagent, product velocity and product angular moment were studied. From the calculations, it can be obtained that the OH products are produced mainly in the plane of H–O–H plane. The changes of OH products angular momentum j ′ direction along with the increasing collision energies were ascribed to the existence of a new reaction mechanism.

The stereodynamic properties of the F ＋ HO （v, j） reaction are explored by quasi-classical trajectory （QCT） calculations performed on the 1At and 3At potential energy surfaces （PESs）. Based on the polarization-dependent differential cross sections （PDDCSs） and the angular distributions of the product angular momentum with the reactant at different values of initial v or j, the results show that the product scattering and product polarization have strong links with initial vibrationalrotational numbers of v and j. The significant manifestation of the normal DCSs is that the forward scattering gradually becomes predominant with the initial vibrational excitation increasing, and the scattering angle of the HF product taking place on the 3At potential energy surface is found to be more sensitive to the initial value of v. The product orientation and alignment are strongly dependent on the initial rovibrational excitation effect. With enhancement in the initial rovibrational excitation effect, there is an overall decrease in the product orientation as well as in the product alignment either perpendicular to the reagent relative velocity vector k or along the direction of the y axis, for which the initial rotational excitation effect is much more noticeable than the vibrational excitation effect. Moreover, the initial rovibrational excitation effect on the product polarization is more pronounced for the 3At potential energy surface than for the 1At potential energy surface.     

Intrinsic product polarization and branch ratio in the S(~1D,~3P)+HD reaction on three electronic states

The intrinsic product polarization and intramolecular isotope effect of the S(~1D,~3P) + HD reaction have been investigated on both the lowest singlet state(1A) and the triplet state(3A and 3A) potential energy surfaces by using quasi-classical trajectory and quantum mechanical methods.The calculations indicate that intramolecular isotope effects are different on the three electronic states.The stereodynamics study shows that the P(θr) distributions,P(φ r) distributions,and polarization-dependent differential cross sections(PDDCSs)(00) are sensitive to mass factor and the product angular momentum vectors are not only aligned but also oriented.     

Energy and rotation-dependent stereodynamics of H(~2S) + NH(a~1?) → H_2(X~1Σ_g~+) + N(~2D) reaction

Quasi-classical trajectory calculations are performed to study the stereodynamics of the H(~2S) + NH(a~1?) →H_2(X~1Σ_g~+) + N(~2D) reaction based on the first excited state NH_2(1~2A') potential energy surface reported by Li et al.[Li Y Q and Varandas A J C 2010 J. Phys. Chem. A 114 9644] for the first time. We observe the changes of differential cross-sections at different collision energies and different initial reagent rotational excitations. The influence of collision energy on the k–k' distribution can be attributed to a purely impulsive effect. Initial reagent rotational excitation transforms the reaction mechanism from insertion to abstraction. The effect of initial reagent rotational excitations on k–k' distribution can be explained by the rotational excitation enlarging the rotational rate of reagent NH in the entrance channel to reduce the probability of collision between incidence H atom and H atom of target molecular. We also investigate the changes of vector correlations and find that the rotational angular momentum vector j' of the product H_2 is not only aligned, but also oriented along the y axis. The alignment parameter, the disposal of total angular momentum and the reaction mechanism are all analyzed carefully to explain the polarization behavior of the product rotational angular moment.

Quantum and quasiclassical dynamics of C($^{3} P$) + H$_{2}(^{1} \varSigma_{\text{g}}^+)\rightarrow H(^{2} S)$ + CH($^{2} \varPi$) reaction: Coriolis coupling effects and stereodynamics

The dynamics of ${\rm C}+{\rm H_2}\rightarrow {\rm H}+{\rm CH}$ reaction is theoretically studied using the quasiclassical trajectory and quantum mechanical wave packet methods. The analysis of reaction probabilities, integral cross sections, and rate coefficients reveal the essential Coriolis coupling effects in the quantum mechanical wave packet calculations.The calculated polarization-dependent differential cross section, $P$($\theta_r$) and $P$($\phi_r$) show that the $\bm j'$ of product rotational angular momentum is not only aligned along the $y$ axis and the direction of the vector $\bm x+\bm z$, but also strongly oriented along the positive $y$ axis.     

Q- and Z-dependence of angular momentum transfer in deeply inelastic collisions of 86Kr with 209Bi

The dependence of the in-plane and out-of-plane angular correlations of fragments from fissioning heavy products on the kinetic energy and Z of the light reaction partner have been measured. From the dependence of the angular correlations on Q-value and hence energy loss, together with existing data from which the total angle-integrated cross section as a function of energy loss can be extracted, we have determined the dependence of the angular momentum transferred to the heavy product on the initial orbital angular momentum or impact parameter. The resulting dependence is qualitatively consistent with the sticking limit for a reaction intermediate of touching deformed fragments. More specific nuclear models generally underestimate the angular momentum transfer, although the one-body proximity-friction model accounts for the major fraction of the angular momentum transfer. A recent model incorporating both one-body proximity friction and collective excitations accounts quite well for the observed angular momentum transfer. The Z-dependendence of the anisotropy shows the importance of angular momentum fractionation for the less probable events, where the Z of the fissioning system is appreciably less than that of the target. The transferred angular momentum is shown to be fairly strongly aligned along the perpendicular to the reaction plane, with alignment values of 0.6 to 0.8. The component of angular momentum not along the perpendicular to the reaction plane is found to be primarily oriented perpendicular rather than parallel to the recoil direction. The absolute fission probabilities are found to be qualitatively consistent with J-dependent calculations using the J-values deduced from the angular correlations.     

Effects of reagent's rotational and vibrational excitations on reaction O(3P) + H2 H2(ν = 0, 3, j = 0, 3; 5; 7; 9; 12; 15) → OH + H

To investigate the effect of reagent's rotational and vibrational excitations on the stereo-dynamics of reaction product, the title reaction is theoretically simulated using the quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method on the ³A" and ³A′ potential energy surfaces (PESs). The reaction cross section is considered as the only scalar property in this work at four different collision energies. Furthermore the vector properties including two polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs), the angular distributions of product' rotational momentum are discussed at one fixed collision energy. Effects of reagents' rotational excitation on the reaction do exist regularly.
