Nonlinear Optical Processes by Van der Waals Interaction during Collision

Stephen E. Harris, D. B. Lidow

We describe an optical process where off-diagonal optical excitation of a first atomic species is coupled during collision to a second species. This coupling leads to new types of nonlinear optical processes, and allows large cross sections for inelastic collision between atoms with nonresonant energy levels.

Reactivity enhancement of ultracold O(P3)+H2 collisions by van der Waals interactions

Philippe F. Weck, N. Balakrishnan

The role of van der Waals forces in O((3)P)+H(2)(upsilon=1,j=0) collisions is investigated theoretically at low and ultralow temperatures. Quantum scattering calculations have been performed for zero total angular momentum using the lowest London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato double-polynomial (3)A(") potential-energy surface reported by [Rogers et al., J. Phys. Chem. A 104, 2308 (2000)] and its recent BMS1 and BMS2 extensions developed by [Brandao et al., J. Chem. Phys. 121, 8861 (2004)] which provide a more accurate treatment of the van der Waals interaction. Our calculations show that van der Waals forces strongly influence chemical reactivity at ultracold translational energies. The presence of a zero-energy resonance for the BMS1 surface is found to enhance reactivity in the ultracold regime and shift the Wigner threshold to lower temperatures.
