A Six-Dimensional H2–H2 Potential Energy Surface For Bound State Spectroscopy, Robert Hinde Jan 2008

A Six-Dimensional H2–H2 Potential Energy Surface For Bound State Spectroscopy, Robert Hinde

Chemistry Publications and Other Works

We present a six-dimensional potential energy surface for the (H2)2 dimer based on coupled-cluster electronic structure calculations employing large atom-centered Gaussian basis sets and a small set of midbond functions at the dimer’s center of mass. The surface is intended to describe accurately the bound and quasibound states of the dimers (H2)2, (D2)2, and H2–D2 that correlate with H2 or D2 monomers in the rovibrational levels (v, j) =(0,0), (0,2), (1,0), and (1,2). We employ a close-coupled approach to compute the …
