OSCILLATORY STRUCTURE IN MEASURED TOTAL LI++LI CHARGE TRANSFER AND COMPARISON WITH THEORY

Measured Li+ + Li total charge-transfer cross sections are reported and compared with the computed results of Peek, Green, Perel, and Michels based on an ab initio two-state calculation. Both experiment and theory show oscillatory structure in the cross sections with very good agreement in cross-section magnitude and oscillatory structure. There exist, however, small but important differences in the oscillation characteristics. © 1969 The American Physical Society.
