Theoretical Studies of Energetic Materials
Abstract
The research supported by AFOSR-AASERT grant F49620-95-L-0411 (parent grant F49620-95-L-0310) for the period 1 June 1995 to 31 May 1999 is described. The purpose of the research is the formulation of methods and realistic models for studying the fundamental properties and behavior of insensitive energetic materials. The work performed during this grant focused on the development of intramolecular potentials to describe the vibrational dynamics of the "insensitive" energetic materials NTO (5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one) and ANTA (5-amino-3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole). In addition, the applicability of intramolecular dynamics diffusion theory (IDDT) for computing reaction rates in large, complex systems such as energetic molecules and solids was demonstrated.
