The dissociative pathway of the HF+ molecular ion, initially in its B (2)SIGMA+ electronic state, is studied by a full quantum-mechanical technique. The vibronic time-dependent wave function is expanded on the twelve lowest (2)SIGMA+ electronic states computed by a limited configuration-interaction calculation. The nuclear functions are projected on a monodimensional grid and the time-evolution operator is represented by its (1,1) Pade approximant. The calculations are performed both in the adiabatic and in a semidiabatic representation of the electronic states. The decay pattern shows strong vibronic interactions often involving several states at a time. The results are compared with those obtained in a previous calculation, where the nuclear motion was treated by a classical trajectories approach.

Abstract
The dissociative pathway of the HF+ molecular ion, initially in its B (2)SIGMA+ electronic state, is studied by a full quantum-mechanical technique. The vibronic time-dependent wave function is expanded on the twelve lowest (2)SIGMA+ electronic states computed by a limited configuration-interaction calculation. The nuclear functions are projected on a monodimensional grid and the time-evolution operator is represented by its (1,1) Pade approximant. The calculations are performed both in the adiabatic and in a semidiabatic representation of the electronic states. The decay pattern shows strong vibronic interactions often involving several states at a time. The results are compared with those obtained in a previous calculation, where the nuclear motion was treated by a classical trajectories approach.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
