Abstract

The charge-transfer processes for the collisions

Li + {Na}^{+} \to {Li}^{+} + Na

and

Na + {Li}^{+} \to {Na}^{+} + Li

have been studied theoretically using the first six molecular states in a multistate impact-parameter approach (using the Born-Oppenheimer breakdown terms to couple the states). The results lead to a rather simple description of the charge-transfer process involving primarily transitions between the

1 {}^{2}Σ^{+}

and

2 {}^{2}Σ^{+}

states and between the

2 {}^{2}Σ^{+}

and

1 {}^{2}Π

states of the Li

{Na}^{+}

quasimolecule.
