State-resolved differential cross sections (DCSs) for the inelastic scattering of NO(j" = 0.5, Omega" = 1/2) + Ar --> NO(j', Omega' = 1/2, 3/2) + Ar were obtained at a collision energy of 516 cm(-1), both experimentally and theoretically. A crossed molecular beam ion-imaging apparatus was used to measure DCSs for 20 final (j', Omega') states, including spin-orbit conserving (DeltaOmega = 0) and changing (DeltaOmega = 1) transitions. Quantum close-coupling scattering calculations on ab initio coupled-cluster CCSD(T) and CEPA (correlated electron pair approximation) potential energy surfaces were also performed. Although small discrepancies were found for the DeltaOmega = 1 transitions, we find marked agreement between theory and experiment for the collision dynamics of this system, which is the paradigm for the collisional relaxation of a molecular radical.
在516 cm⁻¹的碰撞能量下,通过实验和理论方法获得了NO(j" = 0.5,Ω" = 1/2)+ Ar → NO(j',Ω' = 1/2,3/2)+ Ar非弹性散射的态分辨微分截面(DCS)。使用交叉分子束离子成像装置测量了20个末态(j',Ω')的DCS,包括自旋 - 轨道守恒(ΔΩ = 0)和变化(ΔΩ = 1)跃迁。还对从头算耦合簇CCSD(T)和CEPA(相关电子对近似)势能面进行了量子密耦散射计算。尽管在ΔΩ = 1跃迁中发现了小的差异,但我们发现该系统的碰撞动力学在理论和实验之间有显著的一致性,该系统是分子自由基碰撞弛豫的范例。
