    Notes: We extend to triatomic molecules with bent initial bound states our analytical quantum theory of triatomic photodissociations. The theory uses basis functions for the initial bound state wave function that are product functions in the natural normal (or local) modes appropriate to that state and a continuum wave function that is a product function in the natural scattering coordinates appropriate to the dissociative surface. This choice of wave functions produces three-dimensional nonseparable transition amplitudes which are reduced to analytical forms by introduction of the infinite order sudden and Airy approximations for the continuum wave function and a quadrature formula for the integral over bending motions. The present theory also lifts some assumptions that had been introduced previously to simplify the theory for isotropic repulsive potentials. Thus, we use the exact nonlinear relation between the bound state bending angle and the scattering angle to remove the previous small angle approximation that is shown to lead to inaccuracies in some cases. We also study the ramifications of the fact that the bound state bending vibration is generally a linear combination of pure bend and both bond stretches in the transformation between normal modes and scattering coordinates. Inclusion of this bend–stretch coupling, ignored in our previous analytical work and in many theories of triatomic photodissociation that employ expansions of the bound state wave function in a basis set expressed in dissociative surface scattering coordinates, is shown to have profound influence on computed fragment rotational distributions. The bend–stretch couplings serve often to wash out the additional high frequency oscillations that appear in prior approximate treatments in which these couplings are ignored. This then leads to fragment rotational distributions that contain only those oscillations resulting from the map of the initial bound state bending vibration. Comparison is made with three-dimensional close coupled and DVR calculations for the photodissociation of HCN from the bent C˜1A' state. Calculations are also presented for initial states of high rotational angular momenta.

    Notes: Our previously developed analytical infinite order sudden quantum theory of triatomic photodissociation is generalized to compute fragment internal energy distributions when the initial triatomic rotational state has K≠0. The dependence of product rotational energy distributions on initial rotational and vibrational state is illustrated through model computations for the direct NOCl photodissociation from the ground to the T1(1 3A‘) potential energy surface. The calculations consider all J,K≤9 and employ a repulsive potential that is fit to ab initio computations. Comparisons of fragment rotational distributions with previous semiclassical approximations further elucidate the role of the mapping of the initial state bending wave function onto the fragment rotational distributions and the influence of parent rotations on this mapping. The infinite order sudden quantum-mechanical distributions exhibit a more complex structure, but upon thermal averaging they are already transformed at T=3 K into fairly broad rotational distributions. The present theory readily permits the calculations of energy distributions for initial states of high J and K.

    Notes: The analytical infinite order sudden (IOS) quantum theory of triatomic photodissociation, developed in paper I, is applied to study the indirect photodissociation of NOCl through a real or virtual intermediate state. The theory uses the IOS approximation for the dynamics in the final dissociative channels and an Airy function approximation for the continuum functions. The transition is taken as polarized in the plane of the molecule; symmetric top wave functions are used for both the initial and intermediate bound states; and simple semiempirical model potentials are employed for each state. The theory provides analytical expressions for the photofragment yield spectrum for producing particular final fragment ro-vibrational states as a function of the photon excitation energy. Computations are made of the photofragment excitation spectrum of NOCl in the region of theT1(13A″) ←S0(11A′) transition for producing the NO fragment in the vibrational statesnNO=0, 1, and 2. The computed spectra for the unexcited nNO==0 and excitednNO=2 states are in reasonable agreement with experiment. However, some discrepancies are observed for the singly excitednNO=1 vibrational state, indicating deficiencies in the semiempirical potential energy surface. Computations for two different orientations of the in-plane transition dipole moment produce very similar excitation spectra. Calculations of fragment rotational distributions are performed for high values of the total angular momentum J, a feature that would be very difficult to perform with close-coupled methods. Computations are also made of the thermally averaged rotational energy distributions to simulate the conditions in actual supersonic jet experiments. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Our previously developed analytical infinite order sudden (IOS) quantum theory of triatomic photodissociation is extended to describe indirect photodissociation processes through a real or virtual intermediate state. The theory uses the IOS approximation for the dynamics in the final dissociative channels and an Airy function approximation for the continuum states. These approximations enable us to evaluate the multi-dimensional non-separable transition amplitudes analytically (as one-dimensional quadratures), despite the different natural coordinates for the initial bound, the intermediate resonant, and the final dissociative states. The fragment internal energy distributions are described as a function of the initial and final quantum states and the photon excitation energy. The theory readily permits the evaluation of rotational distributions for high values of the total angular momentum J in the initial bound molecular state, a feature that would be very difficult with close-coupled methods. In paper II we apply the theory to describe the photofragment yield spectrum of NOCl in the region of the T1(13A″)←S0(11A′) transition. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An analytical quantum mechanical model is developed for calculating fragment energy distributions in photodissociation of linear triatomic molecules when the repulsive potential energy surface is anisotropic. The translational continuum function is taken to be given by the infinite order sudden approximation, but an equivalent adiabatic interpretation leads to a natural choice for the diatomic angular momentum j and for the retention of asymptotic rotational energy differences. Normal coordinates are used for the initial bound state before dissociation, while scattering coordinates are applied for wave functions on the dissociative surface. These natural choices lead to three-dimensional nonseparable bound–continuum transition amplitudes. The translational continuum wave function is further approximated using Airy functions, and additional approximations are introduced based on the presence of small amplitude vibrations in the initial bound state. The three-dimensional transition amplitudes are then analytically reduced to sums of one-dimensional quadratures. The theory has been applied to the photodissociation of several rovibronic states of N2O+(A˜ 2∑+) (predissociation) and ICN(C˜ 1A') (direct photodissociation), and the rotational distributions for J=0 are in good agreement with three-dimensional close-coupled calculations except when the potentials become highly anisotropic. Our photodissociation infinite order sudden approximation is tested against various versions of the rotational infinite order sudden approximation for N2O+ and are found to be in good agreement with previous results. The present theory readily permits calculations for J〉0 and may be used for the calculation of rotational distributions for excited rotational and/or vibrational states. In the limit of isotropic potentials the remaining integrals are evaluated to provide analytical approximations for the transition amplitudes.

    Notes: The path integral for the Green's function involving the Coulomb potential in combination with the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel transformation is used to generate the atomic orbitals of the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom as various combinations of the product of one-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator wave functions. The use of the transformation is justified, by connecting the homogeneous space with the quotient space in the Feynman quantization formalism.

    Notes: Master equations for propagators in quantum open systems and their spectral resolutions are derived. The Zwanzig partitioning scheme along the superoperator algebra are used to derive equations of motion for partitioned operators in a Liouville space. The reservoir influence on the dynamical evolution of operators is shown to lead explicitly to dissipative effects arising from memory terms in the evolution equations of such operators. It is also shown that spectral representations may be written in a self-consistent analytic way by means of the self-energy fields for transition energies of the system by taking into account the lack of the complete knowledge about the reservoir. A kinematic fluid interpretation of the resultant equations is given and an explicit form of the “collision” superoperator is obtained. Finally, a simple example to illustrate the determination of self-energy fields for the system-reservoir interaction corrections is given. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
