| Research Interests: Research
in our group involves the theoretical study of molecular collisions,
particularly those involving free radicals, the photofragmentation
of small molecules, and the structure and energetics of weakly bound
complexes involving open-shell species. Our interest is the coupling
of the vibrational and rotational motion of the nuclei with the spin
and orbital motion of the electrons. Of particular recent interest
is a new quantum flux method for the study of the detailed mechanism
of photofragmentation and energy transfer. Within the past several
years we have developed a new code to treat, fully quantum mechanically,
abstraction reactions involving multiple electronic potential energy
surfaces. |
