The laser excited, jet-cooled Ã2A′′ 2 − X̃2E′′ 1 electronic spectrum of the cyclopentadienyl radical yields detailed information about the vibronic structure of both its à and X̃ states. A straight-forward assignment of the à vibronic structure is presented. The X̃ state vibronic structure reveals a comprehensive picture of the Jahn-Teller distortion of its potential energy surface. The molecular ...

Ro-vibrational calculations on a recent ab initio potential energy surface for H: (W. Meyer et al., J. Chem. Phys. 84, 891 (1986)) are presented for the isotopomers H,_.D: (n = 0, 1, 2, 3). These calculations employ refinements recently developed for nuclear motion calculations and are thus of very high accuracy. The rotational levels with .I G 4 are fitted to standard vibrationrotation Hamilto...

The Amin and Bodurtha (1995) framework, building on a discrete-time version of the Heath, Jarrow, and Morton (1992) term structure model and the binomial model of Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein (1979), allows a consistent valuation of instruments driven by three sources of uncertainty: domestic interest rate risk, foreign interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. This makes the framework applicable...

We report six-dimensional quantum dynamical calculations of dissociative adsorption and associative desorption of the system H2/Pd(100) using an ab initio potential energy surface. We focus on rotational effects in the steering mechanism, which is responsible for the initial decrease of the sticking probability with kinetic energy. In addition, steric effects are briefly discussed. Typeset usin...

iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This paper would never have been written without the vision of Judith Bruce, whose analysis and passion have been vital to bringing attention to the neglected topic of married adolescent girls. We are enormously appreciative of her guidance. We are grateful to Rachel Goldberg for her research assistance, insight, and moral support. We owe tremendous thanks to Sajeda Amin, who...

in this letter we have proposed a new regularization scheme to deal with the divergent integralsoccurring in the quantum mechanical problem of calculating the bound state energy of the delta-functionpotential in two and three dimensions. based on the schwinger parameterization technique we argue thatthere are no infinities even in d dimensions. in this way we were able to compare our proposal w...

the potential energy hyper surfaces (fes) of the unimolecular rearrangements of a) nitromethane itei totrans acknitromethane b) nitrometharie (/) to methyl nitrite (3) and c) naromethane decomposition tomethyl and nitrogen dioxide were searched using the ab !nth° mp2 method. split valence 6-310(d.p) basisset was used for geometry optimizations, frequency and 1rc computations along each reaction...
