Resonances at very low temperature for the reaction D2 + H
Abstract
We present numerical results for rate coefficients of reaction and vibrational quenching in the collision of H with {{{D}}}2(v,j) at cold and ultracold temperatures. We explore both ortho-D{}2(j=0) and para-D{}2(j=1) for several initial vibrational states (v≤slant 5), and find resonant structures in the energy range 0.01-10 K, which are sensitive to the initial rovibrational state (v, j). We compare the reaction rates for D2 + H with our previously obtained results for the isotopologue reaction H2 + D, and discuss the implications of our detailed study of this benchmark system for ultracold chemistry.
