Formation of Iron Ions by Charge Transfer

Abstract
Reactions of iron atoms with common atmospheric ions have been studied in the energy range from 2 to 500 eV. The ions considered are H+, O+, N+, N 2 + , NO+, O 2 + , H2O+, and H3O+. With the exception of one proton transferreaction, all of the processes studied involved charge transfer. All but one of the charge transferreactions were found to have large cross sections over the total energy range and probably proceed by near resonant energy paths. Where possible the measured cross sections have been extrapolated to thermal energies.
