This review deals with quantitative descriptions of electronic transitions in atom-atom and
ion-atom collisions. In one type of description, the nuclear motion is treated classically or …

Theoretical and experimental work relevant to the creation of atomic inner-shell vacancies in
collisions of ions and atoms is reviewed. The experimental data on total excitation cross …

X-ray rates, Auger group rates, and K-shell fluorescence yields are presented for variously
ionized states of neon. The nonrelativistic Hartree-Fock-Slater atomic model, with the …

Relative production cross sections for beam (Z 1) and target (Z 2) K vacancies in heavyion
collisions are explained for situations where Z 1≃ Z 2. Electron promotion creates a vacancy …

A survey is given of recent progress in the understanding of the basic mechanisms
responsible for inner-shell vacancy production in slow (near-adiabatic) ion—atom collisions …

The development of the theory of inner-shell excitation in slow ion-atom collisions over the
past decade is described. This theory recognizes that electrons in inner shells behave …

An impulse approximation to the charge-transfer amplitude in an ion-atom collision is
derived. When a straight-line trajectory is used for the nuclear motion the impact-parameter …

For pt. II see ibid., vol. 8, no. 11, p. 1909 (1975). A law is derived which allows universal
curves to be given for excitation via 2p sigma-2p pi coupling in ion-atom collisions. The …

The properties of strongly bound electrons in superheavy quasimolecular systems with
combined nuclear charge numbers Z= Z P+ ZT≥ 110 are investigated. For collision of very …
