QUANTUM SCATTERING - time-independent: time is factored out of the wavefunction and the problem becomes a single energy stationary one - time-dependent: the time dependent Schrödinger equation is integrated at a given initial state by following the evolution in time of the wavepacket The wavefunction carries all the needed information on the scattering process.

A Model quantum problem OUTLINE • H+/D+ ions flowing through a carbon nanotube • A quantum scattering problem solved using a 3D time-dependent technique (the problem has been already solved using classical approaches) • Implementation of a quantum scattering formalism based on polar cylindrical coordinates to single out resonances, interferences and tunneling To change: View -> Header and Footer
THE NANOTUBES • Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical aggregates of carbon atoms • They can be seen as a wrapped around plane of graphite. - The p orbitals of the carbon atoms are perpendicular to the C plane and and form an aromatic like layer. To change: View -> Header and Footer
Carbon nanotubes are highly stable and show several highly interesting technological properties as new materials. An interesting application is as hydrogen storage f. To change: View -> Header and Footer
NANOTUBES AS QUANTUM SIEVES - Nanotube have been considered for separation of mixtures of molecules of similar shape. • They can bind, in fact, differently to the internal part of the nanotube and alter the partition function. • Such an effect is expected to be particularly pronounced for H/D isotopic variants.

SCATTERING IN CYLINDRICAL SYMMETRY PROBLEMS In thenanotube problem the symmetry is about cylindrical The most suitable coordinates are the polar cylindrical ones (r,,z) The projection of the total angular momentum on z is a good quantum number To change: View -> Header and Footer
THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE The ab initio calculation of the electronic structure of a carbon nanotube at the level of 'chemical accuracy' is highly demanding in terms of computational resources Most often DFT techniques are used to handle the problem (A.D. Becke, J. Chem. Phys. 1993, 98, 5648). S. K. Gray et al calculated the bound states of an H2 molecule placed inside a carbon nanotube (with all its degrees of freedom) (T. Lu, E.M. Goldfield and S. K. Gray, J. Phys. Chem. B 2003, 107, 12989). To change: View -> Header and Footer
A FORCE FIELD APPROACH We used for our study an atom-atom additive semiempirical force field. All interactions are formulated as van der Waals one between the H+ ion and the C atom. The functional form used is a Lennard-Jones 6-12 : The value of the parameters are (JACS 1995): = 3.90310-5 h = 3.157 a0 To change: View -> Header and Footer
BASIS SET The z component of the wavefunction is given by plane waves: with k being the momentum along z. The radial component is a Bessel function and the angular component is an imaginary expomential R is the nanotube radius K is the angular momentum component on z ρn is the nth zero of the Bessel function JK To change: View -> Header and Footer
RADIAL FUNCTION To change: View -> Header and Footer
THE HAMILTONIAN The Hamiltonian for a particle in cylindrical soordinates reads: with - By substituting f by r1/2f the first derivative disappears - By adopting cylindrical polar instead of cartesian coordinates it does appear a centripetal term towards the center of the cylinder - At non zero total angular momentum values the centripetal term is absorbed inside the cetrifugal one To change: View -> Header and Footer
THE WAVEPACKET - The initial (t=0) wavepacket is placed at one end of the nanotube - Its shape is that of an eigenfunction of the polar component of the Hamiltonian with a given component of the total angular momentum and a given radial excitation (that of the corresponding Bessel function) - Its z component is a Gaussian times a phase factor (corresponding to the linear momentum) To change: View -> Header and Footer
THE PROPAGATION The wavepacket is propagated as usual using the propagator - The potential operator is diagonal when represented on a grid • Translation along z and r is dealt using a bidimensional Fourier transform • Rotation (centrifugal term) is dealt using a one dimensional Fourier transform • An absorbing imaginary potential is placed at both ends of the nanotube.
