A new, global analytical potential energy surface is constructed for the X A8 electronic ground state of HOCl that accurately includes the HClO isomer. The potential is obtained by using accurate ab initio data from a previously published surface @Skokov et al., J. Chem. Phys. 109, 2662 ~1998!#, as well as a significant number of new data for the HClO region of the surface at the same multirefe...

The rate coefficient of the reaction NHsX 3S−d+Ds2Sd→ k1 products s1d is determined in a quasistatic laser-flash photolysis, laser-induced fluorescence system at low pressures. The NHsXd radicals are produced by quenching of NHsa Dd sobtained in the photolysis of HN3d with Xe and the D atoms are generated in a D2/He microwave discharge. The NHsXd concentration profile is measured in the presenc...

The van de Waals potential energy between two parallel infinitely long radially deformed single-walled carbon nanotubes is calculated within the Lennard-Jones approximation. The radial deformations are described with analytical shapes in order to facilitate the calculations. The most preferred mutual orientations are determined in all considered cases in terms of their potential well depths, eq...
