An improved ArN2 interaction from a global optimization to additional scattering data

Recently proposed multiproperty potential energy surfaces for the N2Ar intermolecular potential are tested through a global analysis of additional molecular beam scattering data and found to require a small modification of the anisotropy of the well position in order to provide a better fit of the additional scattering experiments. It is argued that such modification is not likely to alter the earlier agreement with other transport properties obtained with the previous potentials and therefore that our present global fitting procedure provides an improvement on the latest ArN2 interaction potential.
