Determination of theLi+-He Interaction Potential from Low-Energy Experimental Differential Scattering Cross Sections

Abstract
The Li+-He experimental elastic differential cross sections of Aberth and Lorents in the 3.6- to 218-eV energy range have been analyzed and yield a simple repulsive potential. The potential may be parametrized as V(R)=2.95×102exp(4.30R)+1.00×103exp(20.4R) in which R is in Å, and the energy is in eV. The estimated error is ±25% for 0.30Å<R<0.80Å. The potential is in fair agreement with recent ab initio quantum calculations and the potential of Zehr and Berry who analyzed the energy loss of Li+ as a function of scattering path length.
