Parity conservation and polarization of differential cross sections in complex-forming chemical reactions
Literature Information
L. Bonnet, P. Larrégaray, J.-C. Rayez, T. Gonzalez-Lezana
For complex-forming chemical reactions, such as atom–diatom insertion reactions, quantum scattering and quantum statistical calculations usually predict sharp forward/backward peaks in the Differential Cross Sections (DCS). Conversely, the corresponding classical calculations are unable to reproduce these peaks. We show here that the basic reason for such an intriguing failure is that parity conservation is ignored in classical mechanics. A by-product of the analysis is a simple parity-restoring approximation that might significantly increase the ability of classical mechanics to describe DCSs over the whole angular range for the title processes.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
