Abstract
Potential energy curves for the lower electronic states of the N2+ and O2+ molecules have been obtained from a semiempirical valence bond method which makes use of available spectroscopic data. From these curves the probability of charge exchange has been calculated, and from this the charge-exchange and diffusion cross sections. The cross sections for the O+–O collisions are in good agreement with the experimental values of Stebbings, but differ by about a factor of 3 from earlier theoretical estimates. Some consequences of this are discussed.
