High-Temperature Collision Integrals for m-6-8 and Hulburt–Hirschfelder Potentials
AbstractThis study is aimed to determine collision integrals for atoms interacting according to the m-6-8 and Hulburt–Hirschfelder potentials and analyze the differences between potentials. The precision of four significant digits was reached at all tested temperatures, and for high-temperature applications, six digits were calculated. The proposed method was tested on the Lennard-Jones potential and found to excellently agree with the recent high-quality data. In addition, the Hulburt–Hirschfelder potential was used for determining the collision integrals of the interaction of nitrogen atoms in the ground electronic state and compared with other known values. The calculations were performed using Mathematica computation system which can deal with singularities (so-called orbiting).
