Title: Intermultiplet and angular momentum transfers of excited sodium atoms in collisions with molecules. II. Models

Abstract

The use of ionic intermediate models for the description of collisions involving excited alkali atoms and molecules is discussed. It is shown that the multiple curve crossing and the quasifree electron models can be expressed with the same formalism. The results of these models are compared to experimental electronic to electronic transfer cross sections in the case of oxygen and nitrogen molecules for which detailed informations upon the resonant free electron--molecule scattering data are available.
