Abstract
The knowledge of accurate rate coefficients for collisional excitation of molecules by the abundant chemical species like He, H2 and H is important in modeling the conditions of interstellar medium. In the present paper, we computed the inelastic rotational cross sections and the corresponding rate coefficients of SiS molecule in its ground vibrational state in collisions with atomic hydrogen, H. We computed ab initio two-dimensional (rigid-rotor) potential energy surface for the H + SiS system at high accuracy for this purpose. The excitation cross sections are performed by numerically exact close-coupling quantum mechanical formalism up to collision energy of 2000 cm−1. The corresponding rate coefficients are obtained in the temperature range 5–300 K.
