摘要:
We present high-level ab initio potential energy curves for barium cations and dications interacting with RG atoms (RG=rare gas). These potentials are employed to derive spectroscopic parameters for the Ba+-RG and Ba2+-RG complexes, and also to derive the transport coefficients for Ba+ and Ba2+ moving through a bath of the rare gas. The results are compared to the limited experimental data, which generally show reasonable agreement. We identify a large change in binding energy going from Ba+-He and Ba+-Ne to Ba+-Ar, which is not present in Ba2+-RG, and show that this is due to significant dispersion interactions in Ba+-RG.
