State-to-state differential cross sections have been calculated for the hydrogen exchange reaction, H+H2-->H2+H, using five different high quality potential energy surfaces with the objective of examining the sensitivity of these detailed cross sections to the underlying potential energy surfaces. The calculations were performed using a new parallel computer code, DIFFREALWAVE. The code is base...

A crossed molecular beams experiment with ground state boron atoms, B((2)P(j)), and diacetylene, C(4)H(2)(X(1)Σ(g)(+)), was conducted at a collision energy of 21.1 ± 0.3 kJ mol(-1) under single collision conditions and combined with electronic structure calculations on the (11)BC(4)H(2) potential energy surface. Our combined experimental and computational studies indicate that the reaction proc...

We present accurate state-to-state quantum wave packet calculations of integral cross sections and rate constants for the title reaction. Calculations are carried out on the best available ground 1(2)A' global adiabatic potential energy surface of Deskevich et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 124, 224303 (2006)]. Converged state-to-state reaction cross sections have been calculated for collision energies up...

Predissociation dynamics of methylamines (CH(3)NH(2) and CH(3)ND(2)) on the first electronically excited states are studied using the slow-electron velocity imaging method to unravel the multi-dimensional nature of the N-H(D) chemical bond dissociation reaction which occurs via tunnelling. The nearly free internal rotation around the C-N bond axis is found to be strongly coupled to the reaction...

A simple approach for numerically exact simulations of nonadiabatic quantum dynamics in multidimensional systems is introduced and applied to the description of the photoabsorption spectroscopy of pyrazine. The propagation scheme generalizes the recently developed matching-pursuit/split-operator-Fourier-transform (MP/SOFT) method [Y. Wu and V. S. Batista, J. Chem. Phys. 121, 1676 (2004)] to sim...

We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of rotationally inelastic transitions of OH, prepared in the X(2)Π, v = 0, j = 3/2 F1f level, in collisions with molecular hydrogen (H2 and D2). In a crossed beam experiment, the OH radicals were state selected and velocity tuned over the collision energy range 75-155 cm(-1) using a Stark decelerator. Relative parity-resolved state-to-sta...

We study a binary non-additive hard-sphere mixture with square well interactions only between dissimilar particles. An appropriate choice of the inter-particle potential parameters favors the formation of equilibrium structures with tetrahedral ordering (Zaccarelli et al 2007 J. Chem. Phys. 127 174501). By performing extensive event-driven molecular dynamics simulations, we monitor the dynamics...

Influence of Aluminum, Gallium, Indium- Doping on the Boron-Nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) investigated with density functional theory (DFT) and Hartreefock (HF) methods. For this purpose, the chemical shift of difference atomic nucleus was studied using the gauge included atomic orbital (GIAO) approch. In the following, structural parameter values, electrostatic potential, thermodynamic parameters,...
