Dynamic orientation of diatomic fragments formed in the decomposition of statistical triatomic complexes. II. Classical simulation Original Research Article

The classical simulation of the dynamic rotational orientation of a diatomic fragment formed in the decomposition of a long-lived triatomic complex is presented. The results obtained complement our previous study of the same phenomenon within the semiclassical approach and cover a wide range of practically interesting cases of rotational orientation for a system charge-rotating linear dipole. A simple analytical formula is suggested for a quick estimate of the orientation for general power-law adiabatic channel potentials.
