On the semiclassical initial value calculation of thermal rate coefficients for the N+N2 reaction.

In this paper we compare semiclassical initial value representation, conventional transition state theory with Wigner and Eckart tunneling correction, quantum reduced dimensionality, and quasiclassical thermal rate coefficients for N+N(2) exchange reaction.
