Sj. Cipolla et Kj. Reed, MOLECULAR-ORBITAL ANALYSIS OF L X-RAY CROSS-SECTIONS MEASURED FOR SLOW AR-CU COLLISIONS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 79(1-4), 1993, pp. 203-205
X-ray production cross sections were determined from thick target anal
ysis of the Ar and Cu L X-ray yields measured for 80-600 keV Ar ions i
mpacting on solid Cu. The Cu cross sections are compared with calculat
ed 3ddelta+-3dpi+-3dsigma rotational coupling cross sections in the Ar
-Cu quasimolecule, while the Ar cross sections are compared with 4fsig
ma electron promotion along with 3ddelta--3dpi- and 3ppi+-3psigma rota
tional coupling cross sections.
