Potential energy surface for high-energy N + N<sub>2</sub> collisions
Zoltán Varga, Donald G. Truhlar
Abstract
the potential energy at the distance of closest approach allow us to infer that vibrational energy transfer should occur much more readily in high-energy collinear collisions than in high-energy perpendicular-bisector collisions.
