  • Title: Ab initio potential energy surfaces and nonadiabatic interactions in the H+ +NO collision system.
    Author: Amaran S, Kumar S, Köppel H.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2008 Mar 28; 128(12):124305. PubMed ID: 18376917.
    Abstract:
    Ab initio calculations on the H(+)+NO system have been carried out in Jacobi coordinates at the multireference configuration interaction level employing Dunning's correlation-consistent polarized valence triple zeta basis set to analyze the role of low-lying electronic excited states in influencing the collision dynamics relevant to the experimental collision energy range of 9.5-30 eV. The lowest two adiabatic potential energy surfaces, asymptotically correlating to H(+)+NO(X (2)Pi) and H((2)S)+NO(+)(X (1)Sigma(+)), have been obtained. Using ab initio procedures, the (radial) nonadiabatic couplings and the mixing angle between the lowest two electronic states (1 (2)A' and 2 (2)A') have been obtained to yield the corresponding quasidiabatic potential energy matrix. The strengths of the computed vibrational coupling matrix elements reflect a similar trend, as has been observed experimentally in the magnitudes of the state-to-state transition probability for the inelastic vibrational excitations [J. Krutein and F. Linder, J. Chem. Phys. 71, 559 (1979); F. A. Gianturco et al., J. Phys. B 14, 667 (1981)].
