Abstract

This work presents a quantum mechanical numerical study of the reactions F + H2(v = 0, j = 0-4) → HF + H carried out on the T5A potential energy surface. The calculations were performed within the jz approximation and employed negative imaginary potentials, yielding state-selected cross sections and rate constants. The cross sections were compared with exact quantum mechanical and quasi-classical trajectory results and the rate constants were compared with experiment.
