Chemical dynamics

Quantum molecular dynamics is a natural offshoot of quantum mechanics whereby the fate of an encounter between atoms or molecules is determined by experiment or by numerical simulation. Simulation essentially involves solution of the Schrodinger equation. The potential energy of interaction is assumed to have already been determined previously by variational techniques and the initial wavefunctions (energy and geometrical structure) of 

The first applications of wavelet transforms to analyse time series in the field of chemical dynamics were those of Permann and Hamilton [47,48]. Their interest lay in modelling diatomic molecules, close to dissociation, perturbed by a photon. They modelled the reaction using the equation of motion for a forced and damped Morse oscillator, given by  

The coefficients, Co.k, vvere chosen to mimic the sequence of data points obtained from the integration at multiples of the time interval, t 

Typically, the time scale was subdivided into 4096 units. The values of Co.k were considered to be coefficients of the basis set, such that the observable, at its finest level of detail, j = 0, could be interpreted as 

Various levels of approximation to this function can also be written. The fine approximations, Xj i(t), can be written in terms of fuzzier approximations, xj(t)

F( Pjy,) state but concludes that the adiabatic picture is largely correct. The issue of whether a reaction can be described by a single Bom-Oppenlieimer surface is of considerable interest in chemical dynamics [10], and it appears that the effect of multiple surfaces must be considered to gain a complete picture of a reaction even for as simple a model system as the F + H2 reaction.

These approaches are generally interwoven, and some of the most exciting developments in chemical dynamics have been associated with their combinations. This section very briefly describes the motivation behind and the application of these teclmiques. 

This map has a single quadratic extremum, similar to tliat of tire WR model described in detail earlier. Such maps (togetlier witli tire technical constraint of negative Schwarzian derivative) [23] possess universal properties. In particular, tire universal (U) sequence in which tire periodic orbits appear [24] was observed in tire BZ reaction in accord witli tliis picture of tire chemical dynamics.

These rate equations are easily solved. At long times, the chemical dynamics reaches a stationary equilibrium and the populations of reactants and products cease to change. The relative populations of reactants and products are given by the condition of detailed balance, where the rate of transition from products to reactants equals the rate of transition from reactants to products, or...

Chemical dynamics and modeling were identified as important research frontiers in Chapter 4. They are critically important to the materials discussed in this chapter as well. At the molecular scale, important areas of investigation include studies of statistical mechaiucs, molecular and particle dynamics, dependence of molecular motion on intermolecular and interfacial forces, and kinetics of chemical processes and phase changes.
