Molecular study of Ar++Ar collisions
Abstract
Calculations were made of quasi-diabatic potential-energy curves and wave functions for Ar/plus/ plus Ar collisions. These extend the earlier results of Gilbert and Wahl (1971) to smaller internuclear separations and several excited states. Elastic differential cross sections at low and moderate energies are obtained from the computed potentials. The effects of spin-orbit coupling and dynamic nonadiabatic interactions are discussed.
