We present a microscopic calculation of collision between a highly charged
ion and a rare-gas atom in the time-dependent local density approximation.
In the calculation, the single-electron wavefunctions are represented on a
three-dimensional uniform grid in a rectangular box. Ions with eight charge
s are treated as the core and the norm-conserving pseudopotential is used f
or the electron-ion interaction. The calculated charge transfer cross secti
ons are in fair agreement with measurements, the semi-empirical formula and
the molecular classical over-barrier model.
