Employing the quasi-classical trajectory method and the potential energy surface of Panda and Sathyamurhy [Panda A N and Sathyamurthy N 2004 J. Chem. Phys. 121 9343], the effect of the reagent vibration on vector correlation of the ion—molecule reactions D− + H2 and H− + D2 is studied at a collision energy of 35.7 kcal/mol. Four generalized polarization-dependent differential cross sections (2π/σ)(dσ00/dωt), (2π/σ)(dσ20/dωt), (2π/σ)(dσ22+/dωt), and (2π/σ)(dσ21−/dωt) are presented in the centre-of-mass reference frame, separately. At the same time, the effects on the product angular distributions P(θr), P(φr) and P(θr, φr) of the title reactions are also analysed. The calculated results show that the scattering tendencies of the product HD, the alignment and the orientation of j′ sensitively depend on reagent molecule vibration.
Vector correlations between products and reagents of the reaction C+CH and the isotopic variant reactions are calculated by employing the quasi-classical trajectory method based on the adiabatically 1 2 𝐴 ′′ double-many-bodyexpansion potential-energy surface computed and numerically fitted by Boggio-Pasqua et al. The normalized polarization-dependent differential cross-sections and the distributions of 𝑃 (𝜃𝑟), 𝑃 (𝜑𝑟) and 𝑃 (𝜃𝑟, 𝜑𝑟) at the selected collision energy are discussed in detail. The values of the product rotational alignment parameter ⟨𝑃2(𝑗 ′ • 𝑘)⟩ are also calculated and plotted as functions of the collision energy in the range 0.005-0.5 eV. The computed results show that the rotational polarizations of the product present pronounced different characters as the mass substituted atom increasing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
