Rotational relaxation in a 4He superfluid nanodroplet is studied adapting a quantum approach recently proposed by us. In the first theoretical study on this problem several isotopes of H2 are examined (cascade mechanism, time scale of ns, etc.).
The Ne + Ne@(4He)N reaction dynamics was studied using a quantum–classical approach. The angular momentum plays a critical role: the Ne–Ne adduct formation dominates the reactivity (instead of the Ne2 dimer) and quantized vortices are produced.
The influence of the nanodroplet size, interaction potential energy and vibrational energy gap on the vibrational energy relaxation of a diatomic molecule in a superfluid helium nanodroplet has been studied theoretically for the first time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
