Mechanisms of Energy Transfer in Deuterium Fluoride Systems.

Abstract

A three-dimensional trajectory study has been employed to determine temperature-dependent rate coefficients for the important energy-transfer and deactivation processes that occur in DF(v1) + DF(v2) collisions. From this study, it was predicted that the v to v energy-transfer processes occur by means of delta v = + or - 1 transitions and that the rate coefficients for the v to v processes DF(v1 = 1) + DF(v2) to DF(v1' = 0) + DF(v2' = v2 + 1) with v2 = 1 through 5, respectively, decrease with increasing vibrational quantum number v.
