Jw. Thomsen, ALIGNMENT EFFECTS IN ELECTRON-TRANSFER - EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES FOR SINGLY CHARGED ION COLLISIONS WITH NA(3P) ATOMS, Canadian journal of physics, 74(11-12), 1996, pp. 950-954
This paper reports experimental results for the influence of target ex
citation and orbital alignment on the electron-transfer process in ion
-Na(3s,3p) collisions. Systematic experimental investigations with a r
ange of simple ions reveal a similar behavior of the electron-transfer
cross-section parameters as a function velocity. The experimental fin
dings are compared with atomic and molecular orbital calculations.
