Interaction Potentials II: Semiempirical Atom-Molecule Potentials for Collision Theory

  • Chapter
Book cover Atom - Molecule Collision Theory

Abstract

This chapter treats a particular type of semiempirical method suitable for the calculation of potential energy surfaces (PES) which are needed in atom-molecule collision processes. Such surfaces need to be accurate and readily calculable over a wide range of geometrical configurations from the composite molecule to the separated fragments. Hence, semiempirical methods designed primarily to handle equilibrium geometries are not considered here.
