Abstract Interaction potential of the SiD(X$^{2}\Pi$) radical is constructed by using the CCSD(T) theory in combination with the largest correlation-consistent quintuple basis set augmented with the diffuse functions in the valence range. Using the interaction potential, the spectroscopic parameters are accurately determined. The present $D_{0}$, $D_{\rm e}$, $R_{\rm e}$, $\omega _{\rm e}$, $\alpha _{\rm e}$ and $B_{\rm e}$ values are of 3.0956 eV, 3.1863 eV, 0.15223 nm, 1472.894 cm$^{ - 1}$, 0.07799 cm$^{ - 1}$ and 3.8717 cm$^{ - 1}$, respectively, which are in excellent agreement with the measurements. A total of 26 vibrational states is predicted when $J = 0$ by solving the radial Schrödinger equation of nuclear motion. The complete vibrational levels, classical turning points, initial rotation and centrifugal distortion constants when $J = 0$ are reported for the first time, which are in good accord with the available experiments. The total and various partial-wave cross sections are calculated for the elastic collisions between Si and D atoms in their ground states at 1.0$\times $ 10$^{ - 11}$--1.0$\times $10$^{ - 3}$~a.u. when the two atoms approach each other along the SiD(X$^{2}\Pi$) potential energy curve. Four shape resonances are found in the total elastic cross sections, and their resonant energies are of 1.73$\times $10$^{ - 5}$, 4.0$\times $10$^{ - 5}$, 6.45$\times $10$^{ - 5}$ and 5.5$\times $10$^{ - 4}$ a.u., respectively. Each shape resonance in the total elastic cross sections is carefully investigated. The results show that the shape of the total elastic cross sections is mainly dominated by the $s$ partial wave at very low temperatures. Because of the weakness of the shape resonances coming from the higher partial waves, most of them are passed into oblivion by the strong $s$ partial-wave elastic cross sections.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
