Abstract
A simple model for ion-atom collision with charge exchange is proposed to realize a computationally efficient particle simulation of plasmas. The model is a combination of isotropic scattering and charge switching, both occurring with the same probability. When an ion-atom collision cross section is chosen to be nearly twice as large as an atom-atom collision cross section, the measured ion drift velocities and transverse diffusion coefficients for Ar+ in Ar, He+ in He, Ne+ in Ne, and Kr+ in Kr can be reproduced with reasonable accuracy using the proposed model.
