Abstract

Upon the Liu, Siegbahn, Truhlar, Horowitz (LSTH) potential energy surface, the reaction probabilities of the three-dimensional (3-D) state-to-state H + H2 (v, j) →H 2(v′, j′) + H reaction are calculated with the linear combination of arrangement channels-scattering wavefunction (LCAC-SW) method. In the calculation, the vibration function of H2 and the radial propagating wave functions are expanded by the real Gauss functions. The calculated threshold energy and the resonating structure are consistent with the results of the accurate quantum scattering calculations, which shows the accuration, simplicity and practicability of the LCAC-SW method.
