Abstract

Pseudopotential molecular-structure calculations have been performed on the NaH system to obtain the five lowest 1 and two lowest 1 molecular states. The resulting eigenfunctions and eigenvalues were used in a perturbed-stationary- state calculation where electron-translation factors have been incorporated to first order in the collision velocity. The ion-pair formation cross section for H+NaH-+Na+ is found to have a maximum value of 3.3x10-16 cm at 1 keV/amu. The ion-ion mutual neutralization cross section for H-+Na+H+Na rises monotomically with decreasing collision velocity and is 1x10-14 cm2 at energies from 0.1 to 5.0 keV/amu. © 1985 The American Physical Society.
