Effect of isotope on state-to-state dynamics for reactive collision reactions O(3P)+H2^+→OH^++H and O(3P)+H2^+→OH+H^+ in ground state 1^2A" and first excited 1^2A' potential energy surfaces

We carry out quantum scattering dynamics and quasi-classical trajectory(QCT)calculations for the O+H2+reactive collision in the ground(1^2A')and first excited(1^2A')potential energy surface.We calculate the reaction probabilities of O+H2^+(v=0,j=0)→OH^++H and O+H2^+(v=0,j=0)→OH+H^+reaction for total angular momentum J=0.The results calculated by QCT are consistent with those from quantum mechanical wave packet.Using the QCT method,we generate in the center-of-mass frame the product state-resolved integral cross-sections(ICSs);two commonly used generalized polarization-dependent differential cross-sections(PDDCSs),(2π/σ)(dσ00/dωt),(2π/σ)(dσ20/dωt);and three angular distributions of the product rotational vectors,P(θr),P(φr),and P(θr,φr).We discuss the influence on the scalar and vector properties of the potential energy surface,the collision energy,and the isotope mass.Since there are deep potential wells in these two potential energy surfaces,their kinetic characteristics are similar to each other and the isotopic effect is not obvious.However,the well depths and configurations of the two potential energy surfaces are different,so the effects of isotopic substitution on the integral cross-section and the rotational polarization of product are different.

Reaction mechanism of D + ND→N + D_2 and its state-to-state quantum dynamics

The quantum state-to-state calculations of the D + ND→N + D_2 reaction are performed on a potential energy surface of 4 A'' state. The state-resolved integral and differential cross sections and product state distributions are calculated and discussed. It is found that the rotational distribution, rather than the vibrational distribution, of the product has an obvious inversion. Due to the fact that it is a small-impact-parameter collision, its product D_2 is mainly dominated by rebound mechanism, which can lead to backward scattering at low collision energy. As the collision energy increases, the forward scattering and sideward scattering begin to appear. In addition, the backward collision is also found to happen at high collision energy, through which we can know that both the rebound mechanism and stripping mechanism exist at high collision energy.

State-to-state quantum dynamics of the N(~4S)+H_2(X^1Σ^+) → NH(X^3Σ^-)+H(~2S) reaction and its reaction mechanism analysis

Quantum state-to-state dynamics of the N(4S) + H-2(X1+Σ) → NH(X3Σ) + H(2S) reaction is reported in an accurate novel potential energy surface constructed by Zhai et al.(2011 J. Chem. Phys. 135 104314). The time-dependent wave packet method, which is implemented on graphics processing units, is used to calculate the differential cross sections. The influences of the collision energy on the product state-resolved integral cross sections and total differential cross sections are calculated and discussed. It is found that the products NH are predominated by the backward scattering due to the small impact parameter collisions, with only minor components being forward and sideways scattered, and have an inverted rotational distribution and no inversion in vibrational distributions; both rebound and stripping mechanisms exist in the case of high collision energies.

Mechanism analysis of reaction S+(2D)+H2(X1Σg^+) → SH+(X3Σ-) + H(2S) based on the quantum state-to-state dynamics

We present a state-to-state dynamical calculation on the reaction S++ H2→ SH+ +H based on an accurate X2 A″ potential surface. Some reaction properties, such as reaction probability, integral cross sections, product distribution, etc.,are found to be those with characteristics of an indirect reaction. The oscillating structures appearing in reaction probability versus collision energy are considered to be the consequence of the deep potential well in the reaction. The comparison of the present total integral cross sections with the previous quasi-classical trajectory results shows that the quantum effect is more important at low collision energies. In addition, the quantum number inversion in the rotational distribution of the product is regarded as the result of the heavy–light–light mass combination, which is not effective for the vibrational excitation. For the collision energies considered, the product differential cross sections of the title reaction are mainly concentrated in the forward and backward regions, which suggests that there is a long-life intermediate complex in the reaction process.

State-to-state time-dependent quantum dynamics calculations have been carried out to study H+DH'→HH'+D/HD+H'reactions on BKMP2 surface.The total integral cross sections of both reactions are in good agreement with earlier theoretical and experimental results,moreover the rotational state-resolved reaction cross sections of H+DH'→HH‘+D at collision energy Ec=0.5 eV are closer to the experimental values than the ones calculated by Chao et al[J.Chem.Phys.1178341(2002)],which proves the higher precision of the quantum calculation in this work.In addition,the state-to-state dynamics of H+DH'→HD'+H reaction channel have been discussed in detail,and the differences of the micro-mechanism of the two reaction channels have been revealed and analyzed clearly.

State-to-state dynamics of F(~2P) + HO(~2Π) → O(~3P) + HF(~1Σ^+)reaction on 1~3A〞 potential energy surface

State-to-state time-dependent quantum dynamics calculations are carried out to study F（2P） ＋ HO（2ЦП（→ O（3P） ＋ HF（1∑＋） reaction on 1^3A″ ground potential energy surface （PES）. The vibrationally resolved reaction probabilities and the total integral cross section agree well with the previous results. Due to the heavy-light-heavy （HLH） system and the large exoergicity, the obvious vibrational inversion is found in a state-resolved integral cross section. The total differential cross section is found to be forward-backward scattering biased with strong oscillations at energy lower than a threshold of 0.10 eV, which is the indication of the indirect complex-forming mechanism. When the collision energy increases to greater than 0.10 eV, the angular distribution of the product becomes a strong forward scattering, and almost all the products are distributed at θt = 0°. This forward-peaked distribution can be attributed to the larger J partial waves and the property of the F atom itself, which make this reaction a direct abstraction process. The state-resolved differential cross sections are basically forward-backward symmetric for v′ = 0, 1, and 2 at a collision energy of 0.07 eV; for a collision energy of 0.30 eV, it changes from backward/sideward scattering to forward peaked as v′ increasing from 0 to 3. These results indicate that the contribution of differential cross sections with more highly vibrational excited states to the total differential cross sections is principal, which further verifies the vibrational inversion in the products.

A new quantum scattering approach (linear combination of arrangement channels-scattering wavefunction,LCAC-SW) proposed by Deng and his co-workers is used to calculate collinear state-to-state reaction probabilities for the F + H-2(v)→HF(v')+H system.Several interesting problems such as threshold energy,compound states and enhance by translational energy of the reactants and the vibration excitation of products are discussed and they are compared with other theoretical investigations reported in the literature.It is shown that the LCAC-SW approach is the successful one of quantum scattering methods.

Product polarization and mechanism of Li + HF(v=0, j=0) → LiF(v', j') + H collision reaction

A state-to-state dynamics analysis for the Li＋HF （v = 0, j = 0）→LiF （v’, j’）＋H collision reaction has been performed through quasiclassical trajectory （QCT） calculations. It is found that the differential cross section （DCS） of the LiF products from the title reaction is preferentially backward scattering for v’=0, yet forward scattering for v’=1 and 2. For v’=3, the DCS exhibits forward, backward, and sideways scatterings. The variation of the internuclear distances and angles along the propagation time reveals that more than 99.08% of reaction trajectories undergo the direct reaction mechanism. The values of the polarization parameters a1-{1} and a0{2} demonstrate that the product rotational angular moment j’ is not only aligned perpendicular to the reagent relative velocity vector k, but also oriented along the negative y axis. These product polarization results agree well with the recent quantum mechanical studies. The mechanism of these results was proposed and discussed in detail.
