Charge transfer in low-energy collisions of He/sup 2 +/ and Li/sup 3 +/ with various neutral atoms

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
Charge-transfer cross sections for He/sup 2 +/ and Li/sup 3 +/ colliding with H, He, Li, Be, B, C, Ne, Na, Mg, Ar, K, Ca, and Cs have been calculated using the Landau-Zener model over the velocity range 10/sup 7/--10/sup 8/ cm/sec. In these collisions, electron capture occurs predominantly into excited states of the product ion, He/sup 2 +/ or Li/sup 2 +/. Laser-gain calculations have also been made for consideration of a possible short-wavelength laser.
