✦ Synopsis
The close-coupling wave packet method has been used for performing calculations on rotationally and diffractionally inelastic scattering of H2 from LiF( ), using a model potential. Inclusion of the quadrupole-ionic lattice interaction in the model leads to large differences between the diffraction of H2 in its j = 0 rotational state and diffraction of j = 1 H2. For j = 1 H2 large probabilities are obtained for changes of the magnetic rotational quantum number m~. It should be possible to verify some of our results by diffraction experiments employing cold beams of para-H2 and normal-H2.
