Theses and Dissertations

Scattering matrix elements are calculated for the nonadiabatic inelastic collision B (2Pj) + H2 (1Σ+g, ν, ј) ↔ B (2Pj’) + H2 (1Σ+g, ν’, j’). This calculation utilizes the effective potential energy surfaces for this collision generated by Garvin along with a correction to the asymptotic H2 potential. Wavepackets are propagated on these surfaces using a split-operator propagator. This propagation yields correlation functions between reactant and product Møller states which are used to calculate the scattering …
