- Abstract:
- The photodissociation of ozone will be studied using state-of-the art theoretical methods. Potential energy surfaces and transitions dipole moments for all the low-lying electronic states of ozone will be computed at the highest level of accuracy. The calculations will include computation of the spin-orbit coupling matrix elements. Time-dependent quantum wavepacket techniques will be used to compute the absorption spectrum and photofragmentation dynamics. Recent experiments have shown that the photolysis of ozone produces spin-forbidden products. The triplet surfaces and the spin-orbit coupling matrix elements between singlet and triplet states will be used to explain these findings. Theory will also be used to explain the branching ratio between the two possible dissociation channels and the production of highly vibrationally excited O2 in the Hartley band.
