Abstract
Experimental results are presented for collisions in the energy range 4 to 400 electron volts of He+ ions in neon and of Ne+ ions in helium and in neon. Charge exchange was observed only in the case of Ne+ in neon. Empirical potential functions for the interactions are tabulated and discussed. It is concluded that the HeNe+ ion, if formed, would probably separate if subjected to impact at thermal energies.
