Description

The orientation and alignment of Li(2p) excited in 1-2.5 keV Li+ collisions with He and Ar, and of Na(3p) excited in 2.5 keV Na+ collisions with He and Ne have been studied by the polarized photon-scattered particle coincidence technique. The covered range of scattering angles is between 1 and 18 degrees. The data are presented in terms of the alignment angle γ and the transferred angular momentum Lperpendicularto. A qualitative analysis of the data is attempted on the basis of diabatic molecular orbital diagrams for the studied collisions systems. (orig.)
