Abstract The low-energy mutual neutralization (MN) reactions Na+ + H- →Na(nl) + H have been studied by employing the full quantum-mechanical molecular-orbital close-coupling (QMOCC) method over a wide energy range of 10-3-103 eV/u. Total and state-selective cross sections have been investigated and compared with the available theoretical and experimental data, and the state-selective rate coefficients for the temperature range of 100-10000 K have been obtained. In the present work, all the necessary highly excited states are included, and the influences of rotational couplings and 10 active electrons are considered. It is found that in the energy below 10 eV/u, the Na(4s) state is the most dominant exit state with a contribution of approximately 78% to the branch fraction, which is in best agreement with the experimental data. For energies above 10 eV/u, the MN total cross section is larger than those obtained in other theoretical calculations and shows a slow decreasing trend because the main exit states change, when the energy is above 100 eV/u, the dominant exit state becomes the Na(3p) state, while the Na(4s) state becomes the third most important exit state. The datasets presented in this paper, including the potential energy curve, the radial and rotational couplings, the total and state-selective cross sections, are openly available at https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00113.00112.

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.
