Rotational excitation of heteronuclear molecular ions by electron impact

Abstract

The Glauber approximation with allowance for Coulomb effects is used in the study of the rotational excitation of the C${\mathrm{O}}^{+}$, HC${\mathrm{O}}^{+}$, and ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$ heteronuclear molecular ions from the $J=0\ensuremath{\rightarrow}1$ state by electron impact.
