Collaborative Theoretical and Experimental Study of Nonadiabatic Dynamics

在化学学部实验物理化学项目的支持下，马里兰大学的Millard Alexander教授和约翰霍普金斯大学的Paul Dagdigian教授将联合开展一个理论和实验研究项目，研究非绝热动力学在分子过程中的影响：反应、光解和非弹性碰撞。从这项研究中获得的知识在从燃烧化学到大气科学的各个领域都有重要的意义。除了研究的更广泛的科学影响外，在本研究的理论部分开发的计算机代码（例如Hibridon）将继续传播，研究生将接受实验和理论物理化学研究方面的培训。

In this award, supported by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Millard Alexander of the University of Maryland and Prof. Paul Dagdigian of Johns Hopkins University will conduct a joint theoretical and experimental research program to study the effects of nonadiabatic dynamics in molecular processes: reactions, photodissociation and inelastic collisions. Knowledge gained from this research has important implications in a variety of fields from combustion chemistry to atmospheric science.Besides the broader scientific impact of the research, the computer code (e.g. Hibridon) developed in the theoretical portions of this research will continue to be disseminated, and graduate students will receive training in experimental and theoretical physical chemistry research.
