Abstract: | The collision-induced reaction of Xe+ with HCl has been studied by use of classical dynamics procedures at collision energies 2-20 eV using empirical potential parameters. The principal reaction pathway on the potential energy surface is the formation of XeH+ with the maximum reaction cross section, 1.2 A2, occurring at E=9 eV. At lower energies, the cross section for the charge transfer process Xe++HCl-->Xe+HCl+ is comparable to that for XeH+ formation, but at higher energies, it is larger by a factor of 2. The cross section of the XeCl+ formation is an order of magnitude smaller than that of XeH+. For both XeH+ and XeCl+ formations, the reaction threshold is approximately 2 eV. The XeH+ formation takes place immediately following the turning point in a direct-mode mechanism, whereas an indirect-mode mechanism operates in the formation of XeCl+. Both XeH+ and XeCl+ formations come mainly from the perpendicular configuration, Xe+...HCl, at the turning point. Product vibrational excitation is found to be strong in both XeH+ and XeCl+. |
