Asymptotic Theory of Charge Exchange and Mobility Processes for Atomic Ions

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the asymptotic theory of the resonant charge exchange process in slow collisions and the theory of atomic ion kinetics in gases within an external electric field. Note the peculiarities of the asymptotic theory version under consideration. First, in contrast to models, the asymptotic theory uses a strict expansion of the cross section in power series of a small parameter that is inversely proportional to the typical distances between colliding particles at which the electron transfer proceeds. This allows one to estimate the accuracy of results under certain conditions. Second, we consider the simplest version of the asymptotic theory by taking into account two lower-order expansion terms. This allows us to express the cross section of resonant charge exchange through asymptotic parameters of a valence electron inside an isolated atom when the electron is located far from the atomic core. Third, if the electron transfer takes place between degenerated states of an atom and its ion, we find the mean cross section averaged over the electron-degenerated initial states of the colliding ion and atom, and this mean cross section pertains to a certain scheme of coupling of the ion and atom electron momenta and the rotational momentum of colliding atomic particles in the course of their collision.
