Understanding the microscopic mechanism of molecule-surface interaction is of great importance in the study of chemical dynamics. Yet, it remains challenging to experimentally acquire quantum state resolved results, particularly the results related to different degrees of freedom of the reactants. Here, we report the design and performance of a new apparatus for molecule-surface dynamics studies, which enable the measurement of quantum state-resolved adsorption. A continuous narrow-linewidth infrared laser source and molecular beam unit were developed and employed in this new apparatus to achieve independent control on different degrees of freedom (translation, vibration, and rotation) of the molecule. Preliminary results on hydrogen and hydrogen chloride adsorption on the Cu (111) surface were also presented.

A detailed analysis of the low collision energy (0.03-10 meV) integral reaction cross-section has been carried out for the F + HD ( = 0, 1; = 1)→ HF(DF) + D(H) reaction using accurate, fully converged time-independent hyperspherical quantum dynamics. Particular attention has been paid to the shape (orbiting) resonances and their assignment to the orbital () and total () angular momenta as well as to the product's state resolved cross-sections at the energies of the resonances.

Quantum and quasi-classical dynamics calculations were conducted for the reaction of Si with OH on the latest potential energy surface (PES), which is obtained by fitting tens of thousands of energy points by using the many-body expansion formula. To obtain an accurate PES, all energy points calculated with aug-cc-pVQZ and aug-cc-pV5Z basis sets were extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. The accuracy of our new PES was verified by comparing the topographic characteristics and contour maps of potential energy with other works.

Intramolecular vibrational energy transfer is gaining tremendous attention as a regulator of condensed-phase behavior and reactions. In polyatomic molecules, this transfer is an ultrafast process involving multiple modes with numerous quantum states. The inherent complexity and rapid evolution of these processes pose significant challenges to experimental observation, and the high computational costs make full quantum mechanical calculations impractical with current technology.

The molecular beam plays an important role in chemical dynamics experiments. The density in the beam is one of the critical factors influencing the reaction rate in these studies. Here we present a method based on laser-locked cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy to measure the molecular density in the beam.
