We present state-dependent and total charge transfer cross sections for the process Si{sup 4+}(2p{sup 6})+He(1s{sup 2}){r_arrow}Si{sup 3+}(3l)+He{sup +}(1s), where l=s,p, in the collision energy range 0.004{endash}10 eV/amu. The cross sections are determined using a close-coupled quantal method. Fully {ital ab initio} adiabatic potentials and nonadiabatic radial coupling matrix elements obtained with the spin-coupled valence-bond method are incorporated. Rate coefficients for temperatures between 1000 and 50000 K and results for isotopic {sup 3}He are also presented. Astrophysical applications are briefly discussed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
