A detailed investigation of absolute integral cross sections (σ's) for the reactions, V+[a5DJ (J = 0, 2), a5FJ (J = 1, 2), and a3FJ (J = 2, 3)] + CH4, can be interpreted using a weak spin crossing mechanism.

Chemiluminescence cross sections for reaction of the individual spin–orbit states of metastable Ca(PJ03) with CH3I, CH2I2, and SF6 have been determined by the use of optical pumping state selection. This technique was also used to separate the chemiluminescence arising from the two excited metastable Ca 3P0 and 1D states. The spin–orbit dependence of the chemiluminescence pathway was found to be substantial for the CH3I and CH2I2 reactions and similar to that previously observed for halogen diatom and alkyl bromide reagents. By contrast, no spin–orbit effect was observed for Ca(3P0)+SF6. These results are discussed in terms of our previously presented model for the origin of spin–orbit effects in chemical reactions.

Abstract The mobility of N+ ions in ground-state helium gas at very low temperature is examined with explicit inclusion of spin–orbit coupling effects. The ionic kinetics is treated theoretically with the three-temperature model. The N+–He interaction potentials, including spin–orbit coupling, are determined using high-level ab initio calculations. Then, the classical and quantal transport cross sections, both needed in the computation of the mobility coefficients, are calculated in terms of the collisional energy of the N+–He system. The numerical results, at temperature 4.3 K, show the spin–orbit interactions have negligible effect on the mobility coefficients. Graphical abstract

In this work, we simultaneously reanalyzed the differential elastic scattering cross-sections ([Formula: see text]) and the vector analyzing power ([Formula: see text]) of [Formula: see text]He elastic scattering. This analysis was performed using the folded optical model for both real central and spin-orbit (SO) potentials, respectively. For the imaginary central, we used the usual Woods-Saxon (WS) form. Three different model density distributions are used to calculate the potential. We aimed to examine the applicability of the microscopically derived SO potential and the structure effect of 6He nucleus. The presence of the [Formula: see text] experimental data of [Formula: see text]He makes it interesting for this study. Our calculations showed that the three densities gave similar predictions for the cross-sections data. The three microscopic SO potentials calculations of [Formula: see text] are not in a good agreement with the experimental data. We concluded that the SO formalism in its current form needs more investigations for exotic halo nuclei.

Analyzing powers and cross sections have been measured for elastic and inelastic scattering of 40 MeV polarized protons from 90Zr and 92Zr. The analysis has been carried out in the DWBA within the framework of the macroscopic and microscopic models. Furthermore, the coupled-channels calculations using the vibrational model and the full Thomas form for the spin–orbit potential give a very good description for both the cross sections and the analyzing powers of the iow-lying2+, 3−, 5−, and 4+ states in 92Zr and the 2+ and 3− in 90Zr. The cross section and analyzing power for the first 2+ state in these nuclei were compared with previous results at 30 and 20.3 MeV, and from this comparison a certain energy dependence of the relative strength of the spin–orbit deformation to the central deformation could be observed. Microscopic model calculations with tensor and spin–orbit components included in the projectile–target real interaction and with an exact treatment of knock-on' exchange have been performed for the 2+ states in these nuclei. An attempt has also been made in order to include the imaginary component in the N–N interaction. For these calculations, rather good agreement was obtained especially for the 2+ state in 92Zr but poor agreement for 90Zr. Finally, valence plus core polarization calculations have also been done and showed a very good agreement between theory and experiment for those 2+ transitions.

Cross sections for collisionally induced disorientation of of the Na (3 2S½) sublevels have been measured for the C1 - C4 saturated hydrocarbons. The strong increase of the cross sections with the number of buffer gas electrons can be explained by using the model of spin-orbit-relaxation.

The effect of electron spin-orbit interactions on chemical reaction dynamics has been a topic of much research interest. Here we report a combined experimental and theoretical study on the effect of electron spin and orbital angular momentum in the F + HD → HF + D reaction. Using a high-resolution imaging technique, we observed a peculiar horseshoe-shaped pattern in the product rotational-state–resolved differential cross sections around the forward-scattering direction. The unusual dynamics pattern could only be explained properly by highly accurate quantum dynamics theory when full spin-orbit characteristics were considered. Theoretical analysis revealed that the horseshoe pattern was largely the result of quantum interference between spin-orbit split–partial-wave resonances with positive and negative parities, providing a distinctive example of how spin-orbit interaction can effectively influence reaction dynamics.
