Molecular Beam Scattering: Method and Results on Intermolecular Potentials

  • Chapter
Intermolecular Forces

Abstract

Methods are reviewed for carrying out elastic and rotationally inelastic scattering experiments with molecules. The different kind of detailed and state-selected cross section and its relation to the anisotropic potential energy surface is discussed. Methods are presented for the determination of these potentials from the measured data in combination with ab initio calculations. The scattering of H2 from H2, CO, and NH3 is treated as a typical example for which state-to-state differential cross sections, rotational rainbows in differential energy loss spectra, or both energy loss spectra and state-to-state integral cross sections are used as input information for the determination of the potential.
