Direct three-body dynamics govern ion-atom recombination and barrierless termolecular reactions

Key Points

• This research aims to examine how direct three-body dynamics influence ion-atom recombination and barrierless termolecular reactions.
• Analyzed the dynamics of three-body interactions in recombination processes.
• Studied the fundamental mechanisms underlying barrierless termolecular reactions.
• Identified three-body dynamics as a predominant mechanism in ion-atom recombination.
• Demonstrated that these dynamics facilitate barrierless termolecular reactions effectively.
