A Comparative Analysis of Simulation of Collision Induced Dissociation on Two Different Potential Energy Surfaces

We present the results of quasiclassical trajectory simulation of dissociation of CsBr molecules in collisions with Xe atoms (at collision energies ranging from 3 to 12 eV) on two diabatic potential energy surfaces differing in the parameters of the potential well and of the repulsive wall for the pairwise interaction potential between the xenon atom and the bromide anion. The dynamical characteristics of both the dissociation channels (of the formation of the atomic ions and of that of the ionic complex XeCs+) are practically independent of the interaction potential between Xe and Br–.
