Abstract:
We present the results of a full-dimensional quantum mechanical study of the rovibrational energy transfer in the collision between ortho-H2 and para-H2 in the energy range of 0.1-1.0 eV. The multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree algorithm has been used to propagate the wave packets on the global potential energy surface by Boothroyd et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 116, 666 (2002)] and on a modification of this surface where the short range anisotropy is reduced. State-to-state attributes such as probabilities or integral cross sections are obtained using the formalism of Tannor and Weeks [J. Chem. Phys. 98, 3884 (1993)] by Fourier transforming the correlation functions. The effect of initial rotation of the diatoms on the inelastic and de-excitation processes is investigated.
