Electron impact ro-vibrational transitions and dissociative recombination of H2+ and HD+: Rate coefficients and astrophysical implications
Riyad Hassaine, Emerance Djuissi, Nicolina Pop +11
Context. Molecular hydrogen and its cation H+2 are among the first species formed in the early Universe, and play a key role in the thermal and chemical evolution of the primordial…
Rotational transitions induced by collisions of HD ions with low energy electrons
O. Motapon, N. Pop, F. Argoubi +6
A series of Multichannel Quantum Defect Theory-based computations have been performed, in order to produce the cross sections of rotational transitions (excitations $N_{i}^{+}-2 \r…

Practical Treatment of Singlet Oxygen with Density-Functional Theory and the Multiplet-Sum Method
Abraham Ponra, Anne Justine Etindele, Ousmanou Motapon +1
Singlet oxygen (O2) comes in two flavors -- namely the dominant lower-energy a 1 Delta g state and the higher-energy shorter-lived b 1 Sigma + g state -- and plays a key role in ma…
