Potential Non-Statistical Dynamics in Combustion, Atmospheric and Stellar Reactions
Faculty Sponsor
Matthew Cremeens, Gonzaga University
Research Project Abstract
Combustion, atmospheric and stellar reactions are gas phase reactions that often have characteristics associated with non-statistical behavior. A vibrational analysis might be used to predict non-statistical reaction dynamics which will allow us to scan thousands of gas phase reactions without using expensive dynamics calculations. Furthermore, using basic science to understand these gas phase reactions could provide further insight into environmental reactions.
