The resonant charge transfer process for Li+–Li(2s) collision is investigated by the quantum-mechanical molecular orbital close-coupling(QMOCC) method and the two-center atomic-orbital close-coupling(AOCC) method in an energy range of 1.0 e V/u–104e V/u. Accurate molecular structure data and charge transfer cross sections are given. Both the allelectron model(AEM) and one-electron model(OEM) are used in the QMOCC calculations, and the discrepancies between the two models are analyzed. The OEM calculation can also give a reliable prediction of the cross sections for energies below 1 ke V/u.
The 3s–np photoionization processes of the ground state 2P1/2 and the metastable state 2P3/2 of Ar5+ are investigated using our recently developed relativistic R-matrix code, where the interactions between the bound states and the continuum states are included. Both resonance positions and the oscillator strengths are in much better agreement with the absolute experimental measurements by Wang et al. [Wang J C, Lu M, Esteves D, Habibi M, Alna'washi G and Phaneuf R A 2007 Phys. Rev. A 75 062712] with a resolution of 80 meV than their theoretical results. The contributions of the two experimental unresolved transitions are distinguished in our calculations, which show that the transitions from the ground state also make significant contributions to some resonances. Our theoretical results are also in good agreement with the measurements for the first resonance with a higher resolution of 20 meV.
