With advances in ab initio theory, it is now possible to calculate electronic energies within
chemical (< 1 kcal/mol) accuracy. However, it is still challenging to represent faithfully a …

Thermal plasma flows provide a uniquely high specific enthalpy source that is well suited to
transformation of matter, often via phase changes. As a consequence, numerous thermal …

In the first two books of the series Fundamental Aspects of Plasma Chemical Physics, we
have discussed thermodynamics 1 and transport 2 of thermal plasmas characterized by …

Scattering data, measured for rare gas–rare gas systems under high angular and energy
resolution conditions, have been used to probe the reliability of a recently proposed …

We report on a study of cold reactive collisions between sympathetically cooled molecular
ions and laser-cooled atoms in an ion-atom hybrid trap. Chemical reactions were studied at …

An understanding of the interactions involving water and other small hydrogenated
molecules such as H2S and NH3 at the molecular level is an important and elusive scientific …

The dissociation energy (D 0) of an isolated and cold molecular complex in the gas-phase is
a fundamental measure of the strength of the intermolecular interactions between its …

Transport properties of high-temperature helium and hydrogen plasmas as well as Jupiter
atmosphere have been calculated for equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions using …

The energy required for spin–orbit excitation plays a critical role in understanding
translational-to-electronic energy conversion, particularly in chemical reactions involving …

A general purpose analytical expression for collision integrals, up to (ℓ, s)=(4, 4), of non-
reactive interactions between heavy particles is proposed. The expression has been …
