State-to-State Reaction Dynamics in Collision of Deuterium Molecule with Excited-State Nitrogen Atom

The collision dynamics of deuterium molecule with excited-state nitrogen atom has been investigated at a state-to-state dynamic level by using the real wave packet method. The energy-dependent behavior of the differential and integral cross sections, especially from the reactant quantum states of v = 0, j = 0 to the product quantum states of j' = 0-7, v' = 0-5, is presented and discussed for total energies up to 0.4 eV. The present study predicted noninverted vibrational populations and inverted rotational populations in product rovibrational distributions. Comparison of the theoretical total differential cross section with the previous experimental measurement has also been presented and discussed
