Abstract
Recombination of singly charged heavy Cs+ and Br– ions with stabilization with neutral Ar or Xe atoms was studied by the classic trajectory method in the range of ion collision energy and third body energy from 1 to 10 eV. The elementary reaction of recombination was studied on the potential energy surface (PES), which quantitatively reproduces the experimental results of collision-induced dissociation of CsBr molecules (the reverse of recombination). An analysis of the statistically reliable number of trajectories revealed a complex multifactor dynamics of recombination, which involves various mechanisms whose realization depends both on the mass and energy ratio of colliding particles and on the PES structure and spatial configurations of collision determined by impact parameters, orientation angles, etc. The molecules that formed as a result of recombination have nonequilibrium vibrational energy distributions and rotational energy distributions comparable to equilibrium.
