State-to-state studies of the collisional quenching of electronically excited Cd(1P1) atoms
A comprehensive study of the quenching of electronically excited Cd (5s5p 1P1) by a variety of simple molecules has been conducted using pulsed laser techniques. Except for He, Ar, and C2F6, deactivat...

Energy dependence of the rate constant of the reaction N++NO at collision energies 0.04 to 2.5 eV
The rate constant for the reaction N++NO was measured for center-of-mass collision energies from thermal to 2.5 eV. The measurements were made in a flow–drift tube apparatus in which the N+ ions...

A modification of the overlap potential of Berne and Pechukas is proposed. The overlap strength and range parameters are used in a new functional form resulting in a single-site potential which closely resembles a linear site–site potential.

  14. When sigma>2, the potential (7) has an “interior” well for r<sigma−2. This may be removed by having (7) apply only for r>sigma−1, but, in practice, does not pose a problem since the inner and outer wells are separated by an infinite barrier.
