AbstractWe present general analytical expressions for the matrix elements of the atom–diatom interaction potential, expanded in terms of Legendre polynomials, in a basis set of products of two spherical harmonics, especially significant to the recently developed adiabatic variational theory for cold molecular collision experiments [J. Chem. Phys. 143, 074114 (2015); J. Phys. Chem. A 121, 2194 (2017)]. We used two approaches in our studies. The first involves the evaluation of the integral containing trigonometric functions with arbitrary powers. The second approach is based on the theorem of addition of spherical harmonics.

The dipole polarizabilities (α) and polarizability anisotropies (Δα) of over 20 molecules are calculated to search for negative Δα. The geometry of each molecule is first optimized at the level of CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ. Then, the α tensors are computed both with CCSD(T)/daug-cc-pVTZ in Gaussian 09 and with the exchange-correlation potential Vxc known as SAOP in the Amsterdam density functional theory program called ADF and a large basis set called QZ3P-3DIFFUSE. In addition to the popular formula of the ΔαRaman connected with Raman spectroscopy, we also present values of an alternative definition of the polarizability anisotropy ΔαKerr connected with Kerr spectroscopy, recently proposed by Kampfrath and colleagues (2018. Chem. Phys. Lett. 692: 319). On one hand, the signs of many ΔαRaman are undetermined; on the other hand, we obtain negative ΔαKerr for more than one-half of the small molecules studied. Of the 24 molecules studied, 18 have negative ΔαKerr.

Recently generated ground state potential energy curves (PECs) for the nitrogen molecule, as obtained with the reduced multireference (RMR) coupled-cluster (CC) method with singles and doubles (RMR-CCSD), and its version corrected for the secondary triples RMR-CCSD(T), using cc-pVXZ basis sets with X = D, T, and Q, as well as the extrapolated complete basis set (cbs) limit (X. Li and J. Paldus: J. Chem. Phys. 2008, 129, 054104), are compared with both the highly accurate theoretical configuration interaction PEC of Gdanitz (Chem. Phys. Lett. 1998, 283, 253) and analytic PECs obtained by fitting an extensive set of experimental data (R. J. Le Roy et al.: J. Chem. Phys. 2006, 125, 164310). These results are analyzed using a morphing procedure based on the reduced potential curve (RPC) method of Jenč. It is found that an RPC fit of both theoretical potentials can be achieved with only a few parameters. The RMR PECs are found to provide an excellent description of experimentally available vibrational levels, but significantly deviate from those of Gdanitz’s PEC for highly stretched geometries, yet still do provide a qualitatively correct PECs that lie within the region delimited by Le Roy’s analytical PECs.

<p>Aerosol from open biomass burning (BB) is known to strongly impact the Earth radiation budget. Therefore, a good knowledge of its optical properties and their evolution is an important prerequisite for accurate assessments of contributions of various factors to climate change by means of chemistry-transport and climate models. As a major component of typical BB aerosol is organic matter, the atmospheric evolution of BB aerosol can be strongly affected by the physical and chemical processes governing the gas-particle partitioning of organic compounds. Recently, it has been shown [1] that these processes can give rise to strongly nonlinear behavior of mass concentration of organic fraction of BB aerosol during its atmospheric lifetime. It has been also argued that chemical and physical nonlinearities can explain part of the observed diversity of the effects of BB aerosol atmospheric aging. The present study has extended the previous analysis of the nonlinear behavior of BB aerosol, focusing on the evolution of BB aerosol optical properties, such as, specifically, mass absorption and scattering efficiencies (MAE and MSE) in the near-UV and optical wavelength ranges. The evolution of aerosol in BB plumes was simulated with the MDMOA [1] microphysical box model that involves a schematic parameterization of the dilution process and represents the oxidation and gas-particle partitioning processes within the volatility basis set (VBS) framework. The Mie-theory-based simulations of the optical properties of aging BB aerosol were performed with the OPTSIM module [2] coupled with MDMOA. The simulations show that both MAE and MSE can exhibit strong and diverse changes during BB aerosol evolution mostly due to significant changes in the aerosol particle size distribution. Furthermore, similar to the mass concentration, both MAE and MSC of the aged BB aerosol depend in a nonlinear manner on the initial BB aerosol concentration and the initial size of a smoke plume and are sensitive to the choice of a concrete VBS scheme. The results of this study may have important implications for modeling of radiative effects of BB aerosol with chemistry-transport and climate models and for interpretation of remote observations of BB aerosol.</p><p>The study was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (grant No. 18-05-00911).</p><p>References</p><ol><li>Konovalov, I.

We described an improved version of a modified Davidson scheme previously introduced (F. Ribeiro, C. Iung and C. Leforestier, Chem. Phys. Lett.362, 199 (2002)), aimed at computing highly excited energy levels of polyatomic molecules. The key ingredient is a prediagonalization-perturbation step performed on a subspace of a curvilinear normal modes basis set (including diagonal anharmonicities). The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by computing the lowest 350 vibrational states of A′ symmetry of the HFCO molecule. Also shown is the possibility to restrict the calculation to selected energy levels, based on their zero-order description. This State Filtered Diagonalization method is illustrated on a high overtone (7ν5) of the OCF bend, and on the few energy levels (20) which have been experimentally assigned up to 5000 cm -1 of excitation energy.
