Abstract
Abstract Adiabatic potential curves and wavefunctions have been calculated for ground and excited states of diatomic molecules formed from an alkali atom (Li, Na, K) and an alkali ion or rare gas atom (Li +, Na +, K +, He, Ne, Ar). A model potential method has been used. The energies are believed to be reliable within a few 10 −2 eV. From these potential curves and the nonadiabatic coupling matrix elements, elastic and inelastic differential cross sections have been obtained for the system Li + + Na. Corresponding measurements are reported in an accompanying letter. Related work by other authors is discussed.
