Title: Direct observation of bimolecular reactions of ultracold KRb molecules

Abstract

Femtochemistry techniques have been instrumental in accessing the short time scales necessary to probe transient intermediates in chemical reactions. In this study, we took the contrasting approach of prolonging the lifetime of an intermediate by preparing reactant molecules in their lowest rovibronic quantum state at ultralow temperatures, thereby markedly reducing the number of exit channels accessible upon their mutual collision. Using ionization spectroscopy and velocity-map imaging of a trapped gas of potassium-rubidium (KRb) molecules at a temperature of 500 nanokelvin, we directly observed reactants, intermediates, and products of the reaction ⁴⁰ K ⁸⁷ Rb + ⁴⁰ K ⁸⁷ Rb → K ₂ Rb ₂ * → K ₂ + Rb ₂ . Beyond observation of a long-lived, energy-rich intermediate complex, this technique opens the door to further studies of quantum-state–resolved reaction dynamics in the ultracold regime.

Universality and chaoticity in ultracold K+KRb chemical reactions

Journal Article Croft, J. F. E. ; Makrides, C. ; Li, M. ; ... - Nature Communications

A fundamental question in the study of chemical reactions is how reactions proceed at a collision energy close to absolute zero. This question is no longer hypothetical: quantum degenerate gases of atoms and molecules can now be created at temperatures lower than a few tens of nanokelvin. Here we consider the benchmark ultracold reaction between, the most-celebrated ultracold molecule, KRb and K. We map out an accurate ab initio ground-state potential energy surface of the K ₂Rb complex in full dimensionality and report numerically-exact quantum-mechanical reaction dynamics. The distribution of rotationally resolved rates is shown to be Poissonian. An analysismore »« less

Journal Article Byrd, Jason N. ; Montgomery, John A. Jr. ; Cote, Robin - Physical Review. A

The formation and interaction of ultracold polar molecules is a topic of active research. Understanding possible reaction paths and molecular combinations requires accurate studies of the fragment and product energetics. We have calculated accurate gradient optimized ground-state structures and zero-point corrected atomization energies for the trimers and tetramers formed by the reaction of KRb with KRb and corresponding isolated atoms. The K{sub 2}Rb and KRb{sub 2} trimers are found to have global minima at the C{sub 2v} configuration with atomization energies of 6065 and 5931 cm{sup -1} while the tetramer is found to have two stable planar structures, of D{submore »« less

Density functional studies of the formation of nitrous acid from the reaction of nitrogen dioxide and water vapor

Journal Article Chou, A. ; Li, Z. ; Tao, F.M. - Journal of Physical Chemistry A: Molecules, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Environment, amp General Theory

Nitrous acid (HONO) has long been recognized as an important trace gas in the troposphere where its rapid photolysis represents a significant source of hydroxy (OH) radicals. During the night, HONO has been observed to accumulate to concentrations up to 15 ppb, and this accumulation of HONO has a profound impact on the daytime chemistry of the troposphere. Reaction mechanisms for the production of nitrous acid (HONO ) from the homogeneous gas-phase hydrolysis of nitrogen dioxide (NO{sub 2}) are examined by density functional theory calculations.
