The Quantum Dynamics of Chemical Reactions.
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to perform accurate and approximate quantum dynamical calculations on elementary chemical reactions of importance for the fundamental aspects of chemical dynamics and for advanced technologies, such as high energy chemical lasers, plume technology, and the chemical effects of high energy radiation. These included calculations of three-atom exchange reactions, breakup collisions, three-body recombinations, vibrational quenching by reaction, tunneling, and electronic branching ratios. The aim of these calculations was to develop an understanding of these processes and to develop benchmark data against which approximate methods may be tested.
