Exact Semiclassical Calculations of Translational-Vibrational Energy Transfer

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:12493739
We present "exact" calculations, by the semiclassical method, of vibrational excitation of a harmonic diatomic molecule A-B, in its ground vibrational state, upon collinear collision with an atom C. Results are compared with those of first-order quantum mechanical time dependent perturbation methods and those of purely classical methods.
