Abstract:
A high-precision global potential energy surface (PES) of the Li3 system is constructed based on high-level ab initio calculations, and the root-mean-square error is 5.54 cm-1. The short-range of the PES is fitted by the fundamental invariant neural network (FI-NN) method, while the long-range uses a function with an accurate asymptotic potential energy form, and the two regions are connected by a switching function. Based on the new PES, the statistical quantum-mechanical (SQM) and the time-dependent wave packet (TDWP) methods are used to study the dynamics of 7Li + 6Li2 (v = 0, j = 0) → 6Li7Li + 6Li reactions in the low collision energy region (10-11 to 10-3 cm-1) and the high collision energy region (8 to 800 cm-1), respectively. In the high collision energy region, the calculation results of the SQM method and the TDWP method are inconsistent, indicating that the reaction dynamics does not follow the statistical behavior in the high collision energy region. In addition, we found that the Coriolis coupling effect plays an important role in this reaction. The symmetric forward-backward scattering in the total DCS indicates that the reaction follows the complex-forming reaction mechanism.

Potential-Energy Criterion for Equilibrium
Energy Diagrams - II
The point in the energy diagram at which the system’s potential energy is the lowest is known as the local minima. The system tends to stay in this position indefinitely unless acted upon by a net force. The slope of the potential energy diagram at the local minima is zero, indicating that zero net force is acting on the system. The...
