摘要
We demonstrate that the Monte Carlo evaluation of a phase-space integral is a viable alternative to the more computationally expensive classical trajectory surface-hopping method for calculating unimolecular electronic predissociation rate constants. Rate constants for N2O(1SIGMA+) --> N2(1SIGMA(g)+) + O(3P) calculated by classical trajectory surface-hopping and Monte Carlo phase-space theory methods are compared for angular momentum resolved microcanonical distributions.
