Abstract
Electron-impact cross sections are calculated for the v -> v' transitions occurring between the vibrational levels of the two X 2?+ and A 2? electronic states of the BeH molecule. The calculations are performed with the R-matrix method for a purely vertical electronic transition for energies from threshold to 15 eV, and by using a modified version of the Mott and Masssey approximation to extend the calculations to high energies and to vibrational excitations. Rate coefficients are also calculated for the same transitions. The calculated v-v' selective cross sections and rate coefficients both satisfy distinct scaling relationships, which can be represented in a simple analytic form.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
