The depth of understanding of V-V, V-T, and V-R, relaxation in atom-diatom collisions at low densities is profound. " The advent of state-to- state experiments and of quantum, semiclassical, and classical calculations has provided a wealth of information. Stochastic approaches, which are still under development for polyatomic sys-tems should mimic the essential features of thermally averaged atom-diatom energy transfer when applied to these simple systems. The friction is essentially the characteristic of kinetic energy relaxation. The energy diffusion equation of the energy probability density tr(E, t) is... 

The DIM method is most commonly employed as a semi-empirical technique. The fragment Hamiltonian matrices are usually related to atomic and diatomic energies by making various approximations for the overlap matrices. Both the form of the DIM equation and the chosen set of PBF must be sufficient to account for all the qualitative features of the system being studied. Under such circumstances the approach may offer acceptable accuracy for modest computational effort. Given the input of experimental and accurate theoretical data for the fragments, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the method can yield results comparable to those from larger... 

Definition. Let us consider a given diatomic energy function Um(R) obtained from quantum-chemical calculations or experimental data, where m enumerates electronic states. We assume that Um(R) has at least one minimum at R = Re. Then the nth-order diatomic force constant 4m) for the mth electronic state is defined as follows ...

Abstract, In this paper I give an overview of the current status of knowledge of the four-body potential energy function and dynamics of the HF dimer. The discussion of potential energy functions includes both single-center expansions and multi-site functions. The discussion of d)mamics includes both intramolecular processes of the van der Waals dimer and diatom-diatom energy transfer collisions. 

Figure 17.8 Relaxed triangular plot in hyperspherical coordinates (dimensionless) of the CHIPRI PES for groxmd state H3. Solid contours are at intervals of 0.005 Eh, starting at the separated atom-diatom energy. Indicated are the three symmetry-related collinear saddle points (solid dots) and the conical intersection (open circles). Diametrically opposed to the former are the atom-united-atom of H2 limits and, nearby, the H- -H2 vdW minima.

Abstract Some previous results of the present author are combined in order to develop a Hermitian version of the Chemical Hamiltonian Approach. In this framework the second quantized Bom-Oppenheimer Hamiltonian is decomposed into one- and two-center components, if some finite basis corrections are omitted. (No changes are introduced into the one- and two-center integrals, while projective expansions are used for the three- and four-center ones, which become exact only in the limit of complete basis sets.) The total molecular energy calculated with this Hamiltonian can then presented as a sum of the intraatomic and diatomic energy terms which were introduced in our previous chemical energy component analysis scheme. The corresponding modified Hartree-Fock-Roothaan equations are also derived they do not contain any three- and four-center integrals, while the non-empirical character of the theory is conserved. This scheme may be useful also as a layer in approaches like ONIOM.
