The Landau-Zener formula for the transition probability arising from the pseudo-crossing of potential energy curves is used to investigate charge transfer processes of the type A +B/sup 3+/ yields A/sup +/ + B/sup 2+/ involving neutral helium atoms and triply charged ions of Be, Li, Al and Mg. In addition, a method based on the Landau-Zener formula involving one experimentally determined parameter is used to calculate cross sections for processes or the type A + B/sup 2+/ yields A/sup +/ + B/sup +/. Good agreement is found with the cross sections obtained in the laboratory by Hasted and Smith for N/sup 2+/ ions in He and Ne, and for Ar/sup 2+/ ions in Ne. (auth)
