Numerical Solution of the Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation and Application toH+-H

Abstract
The time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the motion of the electron in a H+-H collision is solved numerically with a finite-difference method on an axially symmetric spatial mesh. Sample density distributions for Elab=20 keV are shown. The calculated charge-transfer probabilities at Elab=3.92, 7.69, and 20.1 keV are in good agreement with experiment.
