Mechanisms of inelastic ion-atom collisions
We investigate the effective charge-exchange and ionization cross sections in the systems Li+-He, Li+-Ne, H+-He, and H+-Ne at low collision energies. It is shown that the cross sections of the inelastic processes depend strongly on the relative placements of the curves of the potential energies of the ground and excited states of the quasimolecules produced in the collisions. Hypotheses are advanced concerning the probabilities of the mechanisms responsible for inelastic processes in these systems.
