Charge transfer in Li²⁺+ He²⁺and Li²⁺+ Li³⁺collisions

Abstract

True one-electron collision systems provide an ideal testing ground for theory. Absolute cross sections for charge transfer in the collision systems Li2+ + He2+ and Li2+ + Li3+ have been measured for centre-of-mass energies between 52 and 148 keV and 6 and 63 keV, respectively. The data are compared with calculations using the two-centre basis generator method. A fair agreement between the experimental data and the calculations is found.
