Charge transfer in collisions of atomic hydrogen with O/sup 8 +/, He/sup + +/, and H/sup +/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., A; (United States)
The charge-transfer process O/sup 8 +/ + H(1s) ..-->.. O/sup 7 +/ + H/sup +/ is considered for O/sup 8 +/ impact energies from 0.025 to 200 keV/amu, using the atomic base S matrix formulation represented by time-dependent bases which denote moving atomic orbitals. In the evaluation of the S matrix, models of two extreme types, the unitarized model and the absorption model, are introduced. The numerical results show that there is only a small difference between the cross sections obtained using the respective models for impact energies above 0.5 keV/amu, while the cross section due to the unitarized model becomes smaller than one-half of that obtained with the absorption model at an impact energy of 0.05 keV/amu. The data are also compared with other calculations of the same process. For the investigation of the validity of our formula, the unitarized formula is also applied to the processes H/sup +/ + H(1s) ..-->.. H + H/sup +/ and He/sup 2 +/ + H(1s) ..-->.. He/sup +/ + H/sup +/. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
