Abstract

Emission cross sections and polarizations have been measured for the 22S-22P Be II multiplet in collisions between 0.3-70 keV Be+ ions and He or Ne, and the 32S-32P, 32P-32D and 32P-42S Mg II multiplet components in collisions between 1-150 keV Mg+ ions and the rare gases. The excitation of the projectile resonance multiplet is found to be the dominating inelastic process for all collision systems. The ratio between the cross sections for the fine-structure components in magnesium is constant and equal to the statistical weight ratio 2:1. Cascade effects are shown to be important at higher energies. The results are compared with related experiments by Kempter et al. (1974) and Ovchinnikov et al. (1974). Some characteristic features are in agreement with the predictions of the one-electron model calculations of Nielsen and Dahler (1976).
