Quasiclassical molecular dynamic calculations of vibrationally and rotationally state selected dissociation cross-sections: N+N2(v,j)->3N

Complete sets of dissociation cross-sections for the process N+N2(v,j)->3N have been calculated by using a quasiclassical trajectory method over a potential energy surface developed by Laganá et al. (J. Phys. Chem. 91 (1987) 312). The results have been then used to calculate the global dissociation rate of the process for thermal conditions. The results show an Arrhenius behaviour and are in good agreement with experimental values.
