Abstract
The semi-classical molecular model is applied to study the charge exch ange processes in the H+-Na 3p and Li+-Na 3p systems in the keV energy range. The dependence of the charge exchange on the orientation and t he alignment of the initial or final state is obtained for the transit ion probabilities and for the differential cross sections. The 14 stat e present model for the H+-Na system is in good agreement with the exp erimental differential cross sections. The alignment is explained by o rientation occurring in the transfer region. The cross sections predic ted with a 28 state model for Li+-Na exhibit similar behaviour as for H+-Na.
