Description

The elastic scattering of an electron by a hydrogenic ion of charge (Z-1) is investigated. For scattering energies Ekin in the eV region, where the Bohr-Sommerfeld parameter y is large compared to one, the cross section for spin exchange of the electrons is found to be proportional to Z-2 and Ekin-1. Spin exchange is dominated by radiative electron capture for Z>25. (orig.)
