Three-dimensional quantum mechanical studies of D+H$sub 2$ $Yields$ HD+H reactive scattering. II
Three-dimensional quantum mechanical calculations are carried out for the reactive scattering of D+H$sub 2$$Yields$DH+H on the Yates--Lester potential surface. The differential and total cross sections as well as the S-matrix elements are obtained and are compared with the corresponding results obtained on the Porter--Karplus potential surface. The differential cross sections and the distributions over final angular momentum states are in much better agreement with the experimental measurements than the previous results obtained on the Porter--Karplus surface. However, the calculated threshold energy for the reaction seems too high whereas the threshold on the Porter--Karplus potential seems too low. These dynamic attributes are discussed in terms of the two-body potentials between the atom and the molecule.
