Abstract:
State-resolved differential cross section, integral cross section, average vibrational energy transfer, and the relative transition probability are computed for the H(+)+NO system using our newly obtained ab initio potential energy surfaces (PES) at the multireference configuration interaction level of accuracy employing the correlation consistent polarized valence triple zeta basis set. The quantum dynamics is treated within the vibrational close-coupling rotational infinite-order sudden approximation using the coupled ground state and first excited state ab initio quasidiabatic PES. The computed collision attributes for the inelastic vibrational excitation are compared with the state-to-state scattering data available at E(c.m.)=9.5 eV and E(c.m.)=29.03 eV and are found to be in overall good agreement with those of the experiments. The results for the vibrational charge transfer processes at these collision energies are also presented.
