Quantum reactive scattering of O(1D)+H2 and O(1D)+HD
Abstract
A recently developed wavepacket method is applied to study the quantum dynamics of the reactions O(1D)+H2→OH+H and O(1D) +HD→OH(OD)+D(H). The abinitio based, global, 1A′ potential energy surface of Ho etal. is employed. The results of three-dimensional, total angular momentum J=0 scattering calculations are presented and discussed, with emphasis on qualitative features of the dynamics.
