Quantum Mechanical Treatment of Electronic Transitions in Atom-Molecule Collisions

  • Chapter
Molecular Collision Dynamics

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Physics ((TCPHY,volume 33))

Abstract

The treatment of electronic transitions taking place during atomic collisions has been considered important since the early days of quantum mechanics. BORN and OPPENHEIMER [5.1] were the first to study this problem and their theory still serves as the starting point for any other treatment or approximation. We shall refer to this later, though not extensively.
