Title: Molecular (Feshbach) treatment of charge exchange Li/sup 3 +/+He collisions. II. Cross sections

Journal Article · · J. Chem. Phys.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5874226

Using the wave functions calculated in the preceding article, and a common translation factor, the charge exchange cross section for the Li/sup 3 +/+He(1s/sup 2/) reaction is calculated, and the mechanism of the process discussed. We show how small deviations from the Landau--Zener model, which are unrelated to Nikitin's conditions for its validity, lead to a minimum of the cross section at an impact energy Eapprox. =1 keV, and to larger values of sigma at intermediate nuclear velocities.
