Optical Spectroscopic Study on Li⁺+Ne Collision

Abstract

Collisions between Li⁺ and Ne have been studied in the projectile energy range between 0.4 to 4.0 keV by means of an optical spectroscopic technique. The partial excitation cross sections to the magnetic sub-levels of the 2p state of Li were obtained as well as emission cross sections for some LiI, NeI and NeII lines. The mechanism of the triplet state excitation of Ne is discussed on the basis of the promotion model.
