Our interest is the coupling of the vibrational and rotational motion of the nuclei with the spin and orbital motion of the electrons. Of particular recent interest is a new quantum flux method for the study of the detailed mechanism of photofragmentation and energy transfer. Within the past several years we have developed a new code to treat, fully quantum mechanically, abstraction reactions involving multiple electronic potential energy surfaces.
Considerable use is made of computer algebra and two and three dimensional graphics.
For the past 25 years our research group has exceptionally close ties and joint funding with the experimental group of Paul Dagdigian at The Johns Hopkins University.
