The partial and the total integral cross sections of the process are calculated in the energy range from 1 till 60 eV/amu. It is shown that the present results are independent from the upper integration limit for numerical solution of the coupled channel equations although nonadiabatic couplings remain nonzero up to infinity. The calculated partial and total cross sections are in agreement with the previous low-energy calculations and the available experimental data. It is shown that for low collisional energies the isotopic effect takes place. The observed effect is explained in terms of the nonadiabatic dynamics. http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/190/ Sat, 30 Mar 2002 00:00:00 CET International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2002-03-30 3 3 Article 190 208 1422-0067 Charge Exchange in Low-Energy H, D + C4+ Collisions with Full Account of Electron Translation 2002-03-30 doi: 10.3390/i3030190 A.

Linert http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/209/ We have performed translational-spectroscopical measurements on single electron capture (SEC) by impact of slow (impact energy ≤ 1 keV) doubly charged ions on dinuclear molecules. For impact of C2+ and N2+ ions the influence of their metastable fractions on the SEC probability has been studied. For impact of 4He2+ on O2 and CO direct and dissociative SEC have been investigated. For all collision systems studied the principal SEC channels can be explained by the "reaction window" which results from multichannel-Landau-Zener treatments for the collisional quasimolecules. http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/209/ Thu, 28 Mar 2002 00:00:00 CET International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2002-03-28 3 3 Article 209 219 1422-0067 Single Electron Capture in Slow Collisions of Doubly Charged Ions with Dinuclear Molecules 2002-03-28 doi: 10.3390/i3030209 Mihaela Albu Libor Mrazek Friedrich Aumayr Hannspeter Winter http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/176/ The development of experimental ion-trap techniques provides the opportunity to compare directly theoretical rate coefficients to experimental data in the low-temperature regime.

M. Kearns R. W. McCullough H. B. Gilbody http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/142/ The effect of the anisotropy of the interaction potential on ion-diatom non-adiabatic collisions is analized by considering the influence of the anisotropy on orientation averaged total cross sections for charge transfer in H++H2(X1Σ+g ) collisions. We discuss the possibility of employing simpli ed methods such as an isotropic approximation, where only the electronic energies and interactions of a single orientation are necessary. The use of several isotropic calculations to evaluate the orientation averaged cross section is analized. http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/142/ Thu, 28 Mar 2002 00:00:00 CET International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2002-03-28 3 3 Article 142 161 1422-0067 Charge Exchange in Low-Energy H, D + C4+ Collisions with Full Account of Electron Translation 2002-03-28 doi: 10.3390/i3030142 L.

Riera http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/132/ The alignment-dependent atomic model for treating electron transfer processes in ion-molecule collisions [Shingal and Lin, Phys. Rev. 1989, A40, 1302] is reviewed. This model has been applied to collisions between H+ and He2+ with H2, and recently also to collisions between He2+ and Ar2+ ions with H2+, where alignment effect is being explored experimentally. http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/132/ Thu, 28 Mar 2002 00:00:00 CET International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2002-03-28 3 3 Article 132 141 1422-0067 Alignment-Dependent Atomic Model for Electron Transfer in Ion-Molecule Collisions 2002-03-28 doi: 10.3390/i3030132 C. D. Lin Ingrid Reiser http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/115/ Processes involved in slow collisions between highly charged ions (HCI) and neutral targets are presented. First, the mechanisms responsible for double electron capture are discussed. We show that, while the electron-nucleus interaction is expected to be dominant at projectile velocities of about 0.5 a.u., the electron-electron interaction plays a decisive role during the collision and gains importance when the projectile velocity decreases. This interaction has also to be invoked in the capture of core electrons by HCI. Finally, the molecular fragmentation of H2 following the impact of HCI is studied. http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/115/ Thu, 28 Mar 2002 00:00:00 CET International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2002-03-28 3 3 Article 115 131 1422-0067 Electron Capture in Collisions of Slow Highly Charged Ions with an Atom and a Molecule: Processes and Fragmentation Dynamics 2002-03-28 doi: 10.3390/i3030115 François Frémont Guillaume Laurent Jimmy Rangama Przemyslaw Sobocinski Medhi Tarisien Lamri Adoui Amine Cassimi Jean-Yves Chesnel Xavier Fléchard Dominique Hennecart Xavier Husson http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/114/ n/a http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/114/ Thu, 28 Mar 2002 00:00:00 CET International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2002-03-28 3 3 Editorial 114 114 1422-0067 Charge Transfer in Ionic and Molecular Systems 2002-03-28 doi: 10.3390/i3030114 Marie-Christine Bacchus-Montabonel http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/232/ n/a http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/3/3/232/ Wed, 27 Mar 2002 00:00:00 CET International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2002-03-27 3 3 Books Received 232 233 1422-0067 The Law of Mass Action 2002-03-27 doi: 10.3390/i3030232 Shu-Kun Lin
