Charge Transfer Processes in Electron Impact Induced Ar + Xe+ and Kr + Xe+ Systems

Abstract

We report investigation of the resonant process of electron impact induced charge transfer in the inert gas systems Ar + Xe⁺ and Kr + Xe⁺. Along with this, the reaction of the formation of charge-transfer ions XeRg⁺ in triple collisions Rg + Xe⁺ + e, occurring due to nonadiabatic transitions, is studied. These processes are compared with the efficiency of dissociative electron impact excitation of ArXe⁺ and KrXe⁺ ions, accompanied by the formation of Ar⁺ and Kr⁺ ions, under conditions of plasma equilibrium in nuclear motion.
