Abstract

Molecular-structure calculations using the pseudopotential method have been performed on the (ArHe)⁸⁺ system. The cross section for single-electron capture in Ar⁸⁺+He collisions was calculated for energies from 20 eV to 10 keV/amu. The perturbed-stationary-state method [M. Kimura, H. Sato, and R. E. Olson, Phys. Rev. A 28, 2085 (1983)], modified to include electron translation factors appropriate to two-electron systems, was used. The total cross section is relatively energy independent with a value of approximately 2.5x10-15 cm2. The n=4 level of Ar⁷⁺ is found to be preferentially populated, with the 4f level being dominant. © 1985 The American Physical Society.
