Abstract:

Rate constants are calculated for the vibrational relaxation of H2v 1 by H-atoms. A classical three-dimensional trajectory calculation is carried out to determine if both reactive and nonreactive collisions play an important role in the dynamics of this reaction on a London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato LEPS potential energy hypersurface. The results of this calculation are compared with available experimental data. Author
