Charge transfer processes induced by collision of phosphorus P2+ ions with atomic hydrogen

A theoretical treatment of charge transfer processes induced by collision of phosphorus P2+(3s23p)2P° ions on atomic hydrogen has been carried out using ab initio potential energy curves and couplings at the multi-reference configuration interaction level of theory. The cross-sections calculated by means of semi-classical collision methods show a significant charge transfer process in the [0.3–70.0] keV laboratory energy range with a strong influence of rotational mixing.
