QUASI-CLASSICAL TRAJECTORY CALCULATION OF THE CHEMICAL REACTION Ca + CH3Br
The dynamical property of ground state CaBr formed in the reaction of Ca atom with CH 3 Br has been studied with the quasi-classical trajectory method based on a constructed extended London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato potential energy surface. In this paper, we report state-to-state distributions in the reaction of Ca with CH 3 Br . They are vibrational distribution, rotational distribution, rotational alignments of the product CaBr , and reaction cross section, which are under detailed investigation. The vibrational distribution of CaBr clearly shows that the peak is located at v = 8 at collision energy E col = 12.22 kcal / mol . The calculated results also show that the peak value of rotational population of the product CaBr is located at J = 50 at collision energy 12.22 kcal/mol. The reaction cross section increases with the increasing collision energy from 0.15 to 0.53 eV. The product rotational alignments deviate slightly from -0.5 and increase while the collision energy of reagent increase. By comparing with the experimental data, it can be found that the theoretical results closely agree with the experimental ones.
