ABSTRACT

Green et al. 1995

Green, S., B. Pan, and J.M. Bowman, 1995: Quantum scattering calculations for vibrational and rotational excitation of carbon monoxide by hot hydrogen atoms. J. Chem. Phys., 102, 8800-8806, doi:10.1063/1.468933.

Collision cross sections were calculated for vibrational and rotational excitation of CO by H atoms at collisional kinetic energies from 0.7 to 1.9 eV. The BBH [J.M. Bowman, J.S. Bittman, and L.B. Harding, J. Chem. Phys. 85, 911 (1986)] potential energy surface was used and collision dynamics were treated wthin the quantum coupled states approximation, which is shown to be quite accurate for this system, and also using the infinite order sudden approximation for the rotational degree of freedom, which is shown to be less accurate than expected. Results are compared with experimental data and with quasiclassical trajectory values.
