Variational translation factors for He2+-H collisions

Abstract

A satisfactory molecular perturbed-stationary-states treatment of one-electron heteronuclear asymmetric charge transfer is derived. Electronic translation factors and their inherent switching functions are determined variationally. Specific consideration is given to the 2p sigma , 2p pi , 3d sigma , 3d pi and 2s sigma states of the HeH²⁺ molecular ion.
