Abstract

A method for calculating the energies and widths (intrinsic lifetimes) of metastable levels of atom-diatom van der waals molecules has been developed and tested. Its application to the accurately-known potential energy surfaces for molecular hydrogen-Ar bimers has yielded reliable predictions of the lifetimes associated with conversion of internal rotational energy of the diatom into relative translational energy of the dissociating fragments.
