Abstract
The time-dependent quantum dynamics calculation for reaction O(3P)+CH4 →CH3+OH is made, using of the semirigid vibrating rotor target (SVRT) model and the time-dependent wave packet (TDWP) method. The corresponding reaction probabilities of different initial states are provided. From the calculation of initial rovibrational statej=0,v=0, 1, we can see that the excitation of the H-CH3 stretching vibration gives significant enhancement of reaction probability and the reaction threshold decreases dramatically with the enhancement of the vibrating excitation, which indicates that the vibrating energy of reagent molecules contributes a lot to the molecular collision. As for the calculation of reaction probability of statev=0,j=0,1,2,3, the results show that the reaction probability rises significantly with the enhancement of rotational quantum numberj while the reaction threshold has no changes. The spatial steric effect of the title reaction is studied and analyzed too after the calculation of reaction probability of statesj=5,k=0–2,n=0 andj=5,k=2,n=0–2 is made.
