Abstract
Based on the new 2A' and 4A' potential energy surfaces of NO2 fitted by Varga et al., we conducted a quasi-classical trajectory study on the N(4S) +O2(X3Σg- ) → NO(2Π) + O(3P) reaction, focusing on the high vibrational state up to ν = 25. For different rovibrational states of O2, within the relative translational energy (Ec) range of 0.1-30 eV, the total exchange cross section (ECS) is calculated, and it is found that the initial relative translational energy and vibration excitation have a significant effect on ECSs, while rotational excitation has little influence; the rate coefficient of the high rovibrational state of O2 molecules at high temperatures is studied, and it is found that when the vibrational level ν of O2 is in the range of 0-15, the value of log10 k(T, ν, j) with the vibrational level ν is almost linear, while when ν is greater than 15, it becomes gentle with the increase in ν. Finally, the state-to-state rate coefficients are calculated; our results supply the advantageous state-to-state process data in the NO2 system, and they are useful for further studying the related hypersonic gas flow at very high temperature.
