State Resolved Thermal Hydrothermal Collision Dynamics of Atmospheric Species

Abstract

Direct absorption 1R and LIF methods developed under AFOSR support have been used to study state-to-state inelastic and reactive scattering dynamics under single collision conditions. Efforts over the last three years have led to significant achievements in several areas, highlighted by 21 publications published, in press or submitted to the high profile scientific journals. These milestones include: (1) Rovibrationally quantum state-resolved collision dynamics of F atoms with H20 and HC1 in crossed molecular expansions, (2) Polarization modulation studies of quantum state resolved stereodynamics for hyperthermal C02 collisions at the gas-liquid interface, (3) Correlated angular and quantum state resolved studies of hyperthermal gas-liquid scattering, (4) Large scale dynamical trajectory simulations for theoretical analysis of the gas-liquid scattering studies, (5) State-resolved reactive scattering of F atoms at hydrocarbon liquid surfaces, (6) Studies of state-resolved energy transfer with electron-hole pair formation.
