Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
A new molecular intermediate energy R-matrix code will be developed. This code will allow to treat diffuse (Rydberg-like) molecular excited states for the first time and to include dynamical polarisation effects in the calculation using expansions of pseudo-states. Such approaches have revolutionised the treatment of electron-simple atom collisions. Calculations will be performed on molecules with diffuse excited states including H2, CO, NO and H2) and which polarisation expansion are known to be slowly convergent, H2, SiH4. Molecular icons and radicals important plasmas will also be studied. A detailed study of electron impact for dissociation of H2O will be performed giving near-threshold information on product energy distributions.
