Cross Sections and Rate Constants for Charge Transfer into Excited States

Cross sections and rate constants for charge transfer into excited states in thermal energy collisions are calculated for a gas discharge in He/Cu, Ne/Cu, He/Ag, Ne/Ag, He/Al, Ne/Al, He/Au, He/Hg, He/Cd, and He/Zn mixtures. To our knowledge, the polarizability of the above‐mentioned metal atoms, whi...

Description
Summary:Cross sections and rate constants for charge transfer into excited states in thermal energy collisions are calculated for a gas discharge in He/Cu, Ne/Cu, He/Ag, Ne/Ag, He/Al, Ne/Al, He/Au, He/Hg, He/Cd, and He/Zn mixtures. To our knowledge, the polarizability of the above‐mentioned metal atoms, which determines the ion‐atom interaction and, therefore, the cross section, is calculated for the first time. A cross section for the Ne+Cu impact couple is experimentally obtained. Schematic diagram of the experimental setup.
