Calculations on any particular collision system involve linking several system specific subroutines which define the interaction potential energy surface(s) together with a large number of general routines, which have be compiled previously.
Execution of the Hibridon© package is controlled by the Hibridon driver.
- For a description of the commands to the driver,
- The scattering calculation is controlled by
- system independent parameters
- system dependent parameters
- logical flags
- input and output files, and job names
- At present Hibridon© can treat a number of different types
of collision systems. This is made possible
by the presence of multiple system specific subroutines:
- BASIS subroutines which define the Hamiltonian matrix
- SYSDAT subroutines which control the input of system specific data
- System specific POT subroutines which determine
the distance dependence of the potential matrix
V(R). Go
for a list of the POT subroutines which
have been furnished with the Hibridon© package.
A number of examples have been prepared to help you learn how to use the Hibridon© package. These are particularly instructive once you have had an initial exposure to this help library.
The Hibridon© package was written by M. H. Alexander, D. E. Manolopoulos, H.-J. Werner, B. Follmeg and P. J. Dagdigian, with contributions by P. F. Vohralik, D. Lemoine, G. Corey, R. Gordon, B. Johnson, T. Orlikowski, A. Berning, A. Degli-Esposti, C. Rist, B. Pouilly, G. van der Sanden, M. Yang, F. de Weerd, S. Gregurick, J. Klos and F. Lique. Support for its development was provided by grants (to MHA) from the U. S. National Science Foundation, the U. S. Army Research Office, the Office of Scientific Research of the U. S. Air Force, and (to HJW) from the German Fonds der Chemische Industrie.
