Abstract
Monte Carlo classical trajectory methods have been used to investigate H‐ and D‐atom vibrational relaxation of HF and DF. A semi‐empirical valence‐bond interaction surface was employed for the calculation of three‐dimensional collision trajectories. Both vibration‐rotation and vibration‐translation are found to contribute to the vibration de‐excitation. Multiple‐quantum jumps contribute to the relaxation for initial excitation levels greater than v=1.
