Abstract

Full-dimensional quantum mechanical computations are carried out to investigate the photodissociation dynamics of (A) over tilde state NH3 and ND3 using the multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method with recently developed coupled ab initio potential energy surfaces (PESs) [Z. H. Li, R. Valero, and D. G. Truhlar, Theor. Chim. Acc. 118, 9 (2007)]. To use the MCTDH method efficiently the PESs are represented as based on the high-dimensional model representation.
