Research
Molecular reaction dynamics: experiment and theory.
Experimental kinetic studies of atom-molecule reactions, in the gas phase, over wide temperature ranges.
Theoretical molecular dynamics studies of atom-molecule reactions, mainly by the quasi-classical trajectories method.
The theoretical studies include, in addition to the determination of rate constants, also extensive studies of the effects of reactants vibrational and rotational excitation, steric requirements, isotopic substitution and features of the potential energy surface on the dynamics.
The research involves experimental and theoretical studies of reactions, which are of fundamental importance for the development of molecular reaction dynamics theory, or are of practical interest.
