Coriolis coupling effect in molecular reaction dynamics†
Abstract
In this chapter, we introduce the recent advances in exploring and analyzing the role that Coriolis coupling played in molecular collision dynamics. For this purpose, both the CC and the CS calculations that with/without Coriolis couplings are carried out and compared for a series of collision dynamics including nonadiabatic and adiabatic ones. In particular, such investigation under the nonadiabatic collision dynamics has been achieved with our recently developed quantum dynamical methods and codes. We aimed to provide a rather comprehensive and systematic analysis of Coriolis coupling effect on molecular collisions, which can benefit quantum dynamics calculations and our understanding of reaction dynamics.
