Abstract
The perturbed-stationary-state method, appended with electron translation factors, has been applied to charge transfer in Li+ +Ca collisions for energies from 0.1 to 20 keV/amu. The Born-Oppenheimer wave functions and eigenvalues were generated using the pseudopotential technique, which reduced the many-electron system to a simpler two-electron problem. The molecular ground-state X +1 is calculated to be bound and has the potential-well parameters Re=6.20a0, De=1.11 eV, e=235 cm-1, and Be=0.263 cm-1. From the scattering computations, a representative value for the charge-transfer cross section is 4x10-15 cm2 at 5 keV/amu. The cross section decreases rapidly as the energy is reduced below 1 keV/amu. At all energies studied, the dominant electron-capture reaction product is the ground-state Li atom. © 1983 The American Physical Society.
