Collision-Induced Non-Adiabatic Transitions Between The Ion-Pair States Of Molecular Iodine: A Challenge For Experiment And Theory

The ion-pair states of molecular iodine provide a unique system for studying the efficiency, selectivity, and mechanisms of collision-induced non-adiabatic transitions. Non-adiabatic transitions between the first-tier ion-pair states in collisions with molecular partners and rare gases are analyzed and discussed. The qualitative features of the rate constants and product state distributions under single collision conditions are summarized and interpreted in terms of appropriate theoretical approaches. Two mechanisms for the non-adiabatic transitions are clearly identified. The first, operative for collisions involving molecular partners possessing permanent or transition electrostatic moments, is highly selective. It connects the initially prepared level in the E 0(g)(+) electronic state with the near-resonant vibronic level of the D 0(u)(+) state with a minimum change of the total angular momentum. In an extreme quasi-resonant case when the gap between initial and final rovibronic level is less than 1 cm(-1), this mechanism has a giant cross section, 40 times that of a gas kinetic collision. An electrostatic model, which includes the coupling of the giant E-D transition dipole moment with a moment of the colliding partner and the semiclassical Born approximation, provides a plausible interpretation of this mechanism. A second mechanism is shown to govern collisions with rare gas atoms. It results in population of several ion-pair states and broad distributions over rovibronic levels. This mechanism is successfully interpreted by quantum scattering calculations based on the diatomics-in-molecule diabatic potential energy surfaces and coupling matrix elements. The calculations provide good agreement with experimental measurements and reveal different mechanisms for the population of different electronic states. Unexplained features of the non-adiabatic dynamics and directions of future work are outlined

ROLE OF INNOVATIVE CLUSTERS IN DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL ECONOMY OF THE USA

At the present stage the innovative system of the USA is one of the most developed in the world, and realization of cluster approach has played a significant role in development of this system. In the article features and competitive advantages of the innovative clusters created in economy of the USA at the present stage are analysed

DEVELOPMENT OF CLUSTER POLICY OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE GLOBAL COMPETITION

Real productivity of cluster policy in practice least of all corresponds to financial investments and expectations. So, many countries couldn't realize the expectations and hopes, trying to repeat success of the USA and having copied operating conditions and developments of their clusters. In the article the analysis of approaches of different foreign countries to realization of cluster policy is carried out

FEATURES OF REALIZATION OF APPROACHES TO THE CLUSTERING IN ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Organization and developments of clusters in economies of the countries of the European Union (EU) was widely adopted in spite of the fact that approach to a clustering of economy and innovative system in these countries began to be applied later, than in the USA. In the article features of a clustering of economies of certain EU countries are considered and prerequisites of transition to supranational policy of a clustering are revealed
