This paper performs multi-reference second-order perturbation theory calculations on the ground state and a number of low-lying excited states of HSCH3 molecule, and calculates the vertical excitation energies and low-energy potential-energy curves, based on which the photodissociation channels of HSCH3 at 193,222,248 nm are clarified.
Electron impact excitation of tetrasulfur S4 molecule is investigated in this work using R-matrix method. The twelve low-lying electronic states are used in close-coupling expansion to represent the target states, and the integral cross sections for elastic scattering and excitation into the six lowest electronic states are calculated.
