Abstract: The article focuses on a general discussion about the scattering of larger molecules, particularly examining the differences in potential energy surfaces (PES) between HDO, H2O, and D2O. Topics include the reason for stronger back scattering in HDO compared to H2O and D2O, the role of symmetry and potential terms in scattering phenomena, and specific insights into the n10 term affecting back-scattering.
