Experimental study of single-electron capture in slow collision of Ne+ and Ne2+ ions with Ne rare-gas atoms

One-electron transfer processes resulting from Ne+ and Ne2+collisions with Ne rare-gas atoms have been studied using the time-of-flight technique for energy range of 0.6–2 keV. The dependence of the total single-electron capture cross-sections on the incident laboratory energy has been reported. The present measurements and earlier high-energy data are compared. Extrapolation of the present low-energy data to the high-energy regime exhibits good agreement. The Ne2+–Ne data were compared with the theoretical calculations. The data agree qualitatively with the theory.
