Total and partial electron capture cross sections are calculated for Si4+ + H(1s)/D(1s)collisions from 1 meV amu−1to 1 keV amu−1, and for Be4+ + H(1s)collisions from 2.5 eV amu−1up to 1 keV amu−1,using the recently developed hyperspherical close-coupling (HSCC) approach. For bothsystems, our results are in good agreement with calculations based on the molecularorbital expansion method in reaction coordinates (RC). For Si4+ + D(1s)our total charge transfer cross sections agree well withexperiment, but not the partial cross sections. For Be4+ + H,we show that partial wave cross sections from the RC method have moreoscillatory structures than those from the HSCC method, even though the totalcross sections agree. In comparison with the RC method, the HSCC approachdoes not require the introduction of any ad hoc external parameters in theformulation.
