Resumen
The rotational excitation of a singly deuterated water molecule (HDO) by a heavy atom (Ne) and a light diatomic molecule (H2) is investigated theoretically and experimentally in the near-threshold regime. Crossed-molecular-beam measurements with a variable crossing angle are compared to close-coupling calculations based on high-accuracy potential energy surfaces. The two lowest rotational transitions, 000 → 101 and 000 → 111, are probed in detail and a good agreement between theory and experiment is observed for both transitions in the case of HDO + Ne, where scattering resonances are however blurred out experimentally. In the case of HDO + H2, the predicted theoretical overlapping resonances are faithfully reproduced by experiment for the 000 → 111 transition, while the calculated strong signal for the 000 → 101 transition is not detected. Future work is needed to reconcile this discrepancy. © 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry

A Rigid Bender Study of the Bending Relaxation of H2O and D2O by Collisions with Ar (2024)
García-Vázquez, Ricardo Manuel; Cabrera-González, Lisán David; Denis-Alpizar, Otoniel; Stoecklin, Thierry (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024)The bending relaxation of H2O and D2O by collisions with Ar is studied at the Close Coupling level. Two new 4D PES are developed for these two systems. They are tested by performing rigid rotor calculations as well as by ... -

Rotational relaxation of HCO+and DCO+by collision with H2 (2020)
Denis-Alpizar, Otoniel; Stoecklin, Thierry S.; Dutrey, Anne; Guilloteau, Stéphane (Oxford University Press, 2020-10-01)The HCO+ and DCO+ molecules are commonly used as tracers in the interstellar medium. Therefore, accurate rotational rate coefficients of these systems with He and H2 are crucial in non-local thermal equilibrium models. We ... -
