چکیده

Charge-transfer cross sections for slow C1H collisions have been measured in many experiments since the earlier 1980s. Using a source of slow ions from a laser-produced plasma and a hydrogen furnace as a target, Phaneuf et al. measured the total electron-capture cross sections in the energy range of 15–387 eV/amu @1#. Using the photon emission spectroscopy, absolute state-selected electron-capture cross sections have been measured by Hoekstra et al. in the impact energy range of 0.05–1.33 keV/amu @2#. Both of these early measurements have quite large error bars. More recently, Bliek et al. used the state-of-the-art merged-beam techniques to determine absolute total electron-capture cross sections in the energy range of 6–1000 eV/amu @3#. This collision system has also attracted considerable interest and stimulated much theoretical work, partly due to the persisting discrepancies between experimental measurements and theoretical predictions @4–12#. Various quantal and semiclassical calculations were carried out based on molecular-orbital ~MO! expansion method and the adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer approximation. However, since the molecular orbitals do not satisfy the correct boundary conditions, modifications through electron translation factors ~ETFs! or reaction coordinates have to be introduced to account for electron translation effects. The earlier calculations are less reliable due to neglecting some radial and angular couplings or not having enough basis functions. The pioneering work of Gargaud et al. @4,8,9# was based on a quantal formalism using reaction coordinates. They improved their results later by adding more basis functions and including rotational couplings in the calculations. Saha @10# used a semiclassical approach and plane-wave-type ETFs. An alternative approach is to perform semiclassical calculations using atomic orbitals ~AOs! on the two collision centers as basis functions. This has been used by Fritsch and Lin @13#, and later by Tseng and Lin with improved basis functions and an ad hoc method was used to account for trajectory effects @14# at lower energies. Most recently, Errea et al. @11# carried out both quantal and semiclassical calculations based on MO expansion and reaction coordinates that are different from those used by Gargaud et al. @9#. Their results are in good agreement with those of Gargaud et al. @9# and the rectilinear trajectory AO results of Tseng and Lin @14#. In spite of these experimental and theoretical efforts, dis-

Charge transfer in slow collisions of C6+ with H below 1 keV/amu

We reexamine the charge transfer cross sections for C6++H collisions for energies below 1 keV/amu using a fully quantum mechanical approach, based on the hyperspherical close-coupling method. Whereas most previous theoretical and experimental data agree well for the dominant charge transfer to the C5+ n=4 states, there is significant disagreement among the theories for the transition to the wea...

The formation of charge-transfer complexation between dibenzo-15-crown-5 (DB15C5) and benzo-12-crown-4 (B12C4) (Donor) and iodine is investigated spectrophotometrically in three chlorinated solvents,chloroform, dichloromethane (DCM) and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) solution at 25°C. The change in polarityof the solvent also doesn’t affect the stoichiometry of the complexes. Values of formation cons...

We calculated the charge-transfer cross sections for O8++H collisions for energies from 1 eV/amu to 2 keV/amu, using the recently developed hyperspherical close-coupling method. In particular, the discrepancy for electron capture to the n=6 states of O7+ from the previous theoretical calculations is further analyzed. Our results indicate that at low energies (below 100 eV/amu) electron capture ...

Charge transfer and excitation in slow 20 eV–2 keV H+ + D(1s) collisions

We used the recently developed hyperspherical close-coupling method to study H+ + D(1s) collisions at H+ impact energies between 20 eV and 2 keV. We showed that the cross sections for excitation and charge transfer to the 2p states are essentially identical over the whole energy range and stay relatively independent of energy from 2 keV down to about 150 eV. Below 150 eV the cross sections drop...
