Inelastic collisions of molecules within the SFO model

Аннотация

An inelastic collision of diatomic molecule AB with structureless particle M (VT energy exchange) is considered within the SFO/SFHO model. An approach for determining the energy efficiency of excitation of molecular vibrational levels, energy-loss matrix, and total energy loss in a head-on collision with molecules/atoms is proposed. Nitrogen molecules N₂ are chosen as AB and M. An interaction in the AB–M system is described using the “improved” Lennard-Jones potential.
