The atom is present in an optical potential which is complex, spherically symmetric, and energy dependent. The optical potential of the atom is the sum of the direct static, dynamic polarization, local exchange and modified absorption potentials. The results obtained by using a modified absorption potential show significant improvements on the unmodified absorption potential results. The present results are generally in good agreement with experimental data available. In addition, the present results indicate that the structure of molecule manifests the observable effects on electron- molecule scattering.展开更多

We have systematically investigated this kind of the potentials for a series of the diatomic molecules, such as HF, HCl, HBr, LiF, LiCl, and so on. The three-dimensional graph can clearly display the variation of the potential felt by an electron within a molecule and get a deeper understanding of the electronic motion and chemical bonding within a molecule.展开更多

We introduced a dy- namic charge distribution from the view of a local electron movement in a molecule based on the new approach, and as further direct evidence, we calculated some physical quantities using the original ab initio method and the new method to verify the accuracy of the method, such as the boundary distance(BD), molecular face surface area(MFSA) and molecular reactivities indicated by the MFs for a variety of organic molecules. All the results by the new method are in agreement with the results by ab initio method.展开更多

Three typical organic molecules, i.e. methane, methanol and formic acid, were employed as examples for detailed introduction of our method. Investigations on the cross-sections of MICC provide important information about atomic size changing in the process of forming molecules. The electron density distributions on the MICCs of these molecules were calculated and shown for the first time. Results showed that the electron density distribution on the MICC correlates closely with molecular chemical properties, and it provides a new insight into molecular boundary.展开更多

The calculated results show that the geometry of the halogen atom bonded at the N-atom is stable than those bonded at S- or C-atom. The molecular electrostatic potentials determine the geometries and stabilities of the complexes. The valence basin of the S- or N-atom in the electron-donating NCS radical is compressed and its population decreases during the process of formation of the halogen-bonded complexes.展开更多
