Physical Review A. Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
Preserved Fulltext
Cross sections and rate coefficients for collisions of two spin-polarized metastable hydrogen atoms are calculated at low energies and temperatures using complex scaling and Feshbach projection methods for the determination of the molecular potential-energy curves. The inclusion of the Lamb shift and fine-structure splitting of the excited n ! 2 atoms leads to an attractive van der Waals potential for two 2s " 1/2 atoms # with an exceptionally $ large coefficient. The quenching of the
