Journal ArticleDOI

A rigorous test of the statistical model for atom–diatom insertion reactions

TL;DR: In this article, the statistical model of atom-diatom insertion reactions is combined with coupled-channel capture theory and used to calculate differential cross sections for the reactions of C(1D), N(2D), O( 1D) and S(1d) with H2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear quantum effects and hydrogen bond fluctuations in water

TL;DR: It is shown from an analysis of ab initio simulations that take proper account of nuclear quantum effects that the hydrogen-bonded protons in liquid water experience significant excursions in the direction of the acceptor oxygen atoms, which result in an unexpectedly large probability of transient autoionization events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Derivation and reflection properties of a transmission-free absorbing potential

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a first order differential equation for a negative imaginary absorbing potential, −ie(r), which switches on as rapidly as possible with increasing r without causing too much reflection.
Journal ArticleDOI

How to remove the spurious resonances from ring polymer molecular dynamics

TL;DR: Numerically how the approximation to quantum dynamics depends on this friction is explored, with a particular emphasis on vibrational spectroscopy: a broad range of frictions approaching optimal damping give similar results, and these results are immune to both the resonance problem of RPMD and the curvature problem of CMD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum diffusion in liquid water from ring polymer molecular dynamics

TL;DR: It is found that quantum-mechanical effects increase the self-diffusion coefficient D and decrease the relaxation times around the principal axes of the water molecule by a factor of around 1.5, and it is suggested that the main effect of the quantum fluctuations is to decrease the viscosity of the liquid by about a third.
