Formation of the SiP Radical through Radiative Association
Formation of the SiP radical through radiative association of Si(P-3) and P(S-4) atoms is studied using classical and quantum dynamics. Rate coefficients for formation in the two lowest doublet states and the two lowest quartet states are calculated for T = 10-20 000 K Breit-Wigner theory is used to properly account for contribution from quantum mechanical resonances.
