The present study serves two purposes. First, we evaluate the ability of present time-dependent density functional response theory (TDDFRT) methods to deal with avoided crossings, i.e., vibronic coupling effects. In the second place, taking the vibronic coupling effects into account enables us, by comparison to the configuration analysis in a recent ab initio study [J. Chem. Phys. 115, 6438 (20...

The complete angular momentum distributions and vector correlation coefficients (orientation and alignment) of ground state I((2)P(32)) and excited state I((2)P(12)) atoms resulting from the photodissociation of HI have been computed as a function of photolysis energy. The orientation and alignment parameters a(Q) ((K))(p) that describe the coherent and incoherent contributions to the angular m...

Inelastic H(2):He collisions are studied from the experimental and theoretical points of view between 22 and 180 K. State-to-state cross sections and rates are calculated at the converged close-coupling level employing recent potential energy surfaces (PES): The MR-PES [J. Chem. Phys. 100, 4336 (1994)], and the MMR-PES and BMP-PESs [J. Chem. Phys. 119, 3187 (2003)]. The fundamental rates k(2-->...
