The nonradiative charge-transfer cross sections for protons colliding with Rb（5s） atoms are calculated by using the quantum-mechanical molecularorbital close-coupling method in an energy range of 10-a keV-10 keV. The total and state-selective charge-transfer cross sections are in good agreement with the experimental data in the relatively low energy region. The importance of rotational coupling for chargetransfer process is stressed. Compared with the radiative charge-transfer process, nonradiative charge transfer is a dominant mechanism at energies above 15 eV. The resonance structures of state-selective charge-transfer cross sections arising from the competition among channels are analysed in detail. The radiative and nonradiative1 charge-transfer rate coefficients from low to high temperature are presented.
The plasma screening of fast-electron-impact-ionization by excited state（3p） of Hydrogen-like ions was investigated in the first Born approximation with a plasma screening length δ varying from 1000a0 to 10a0. The generalized oscillator strength densities showed dramatic changes： some accessional minima occurred along with a remarkable enhancement in certain continuum-energy domains. The double-differential cross sections exhibit not only the same structures as the Bethe surface for moderate and large momentum transfers, but also a broadened enhancement for small momentum transfers.The single-differential cross sections exhibit a near-zero-energy-enhancement and prodigious multiple-shape resonances,depending on the continuum energy and the plasma screening length. These features are analogous to those of the photoionization cross section. These findings, for both types of cross section, can be explained by processes associated with continuum electrons, as long as the potential has a short-range character.
The ionization process of B2＋ by H＋ impact is studied using the continuum-distorted-wave eikonal-initial-state （CDW-EIS） method and the modified free electron peak approximation （M-FEPA）, respectively. Total, single-, and double- differential cross sections from ls and 2s orbitals are presented for the energy range from 10 keV/u to 10 MeV/u. Com- parison between the results from the two methods demonstrates that the total and single-differential cross sections for the high-energy incident projectile case can be well evaluated using the simple M-FEPA model. Moreover, the M-FEPA model reproduces the essential features of the binary-encounter （BE） bump in the double-differential cross sections. Thus, the BE ionization mechanism is discussed in detail by adopting the M-FEPA model. In particular, the double- and single- differential cross sections from the 2s orbital show a high-energy hip, which is different from those from the ls orbital. Based on Ref. [1], the Compton profiles of B2＋ for ls and 2s orbitals are given, and the hips in DDCS and SDCS from the 2s orbital are explained.
The relativistic configuration interaction method is employed to calculate the dielectronic recombination（DR） cross sections of helium-like krypton via the 1s2lnl ＇（n = 2,3,...,15） resonances.Then,the resonant transfer excitation（RTE） processes of Kr 34＋ colliding with H,He,H 2,and CH x（x = 0-4） targets are investigated under the impulse approximation.The needed Compton profiles of targets are obtained from the Hartree-Fock wave functions.The RTE cross sections are strongly dependent on DR resonant energies and strengths,and the electron momentum distributions of the target.For H 2 and H targets,the ratio of their RTE cross sections changes from 1.85 for the 1s2l2l ＇ to 1.88 for other resonances,which demonstrates the weak molecular effects on the Compton profiles of H 2.For CH x（x = 0-4） targets,the main contribution to the RTE cross section comes from the carbon atom since carbon carries 6 electrons;as the number of hydrogen increases in CH x,the RTE cross section almost increases by the same value,displaying the strong separate atom character for the hydrogen.However,further comparison of the individual orbital contributions of C（2p,2s,1s） and CH 4（1t 2,2a 1,1a 1） to the RTE cross sections shows that the molecular effects induce differences of about 25.1%,19.9%,and 0.2% between 2p-1t 2,2s-2a 1,and 1s-1a 1 orbitals,respectively.

Lorentz ionization of H（1s） is investigated by classical trajectory Monte Carlo （CTMC） simulation. The effect of the transverse magnetic field on the considered process is analyzed in terms of the time evolution of interactions in the system, total electron energy, and electron trajectories. A classical mechanism for the ionization is found, where the variation of the kinetic energy of the nuclei is found to be important in the process. Compared with the results of tunneling ionization, the classical mechanism becomes more and more important with the increase of the velocity of the H-atom or the strength of the magnetic field.
A sharp density increase(referred to as density incrustation)of the Au plasmas in the radiative cooling process of high-Z Au plasmas confined by low-Z CH plasmas is found through the radiative hydrodynamic simulations.The temperature of Au plasmas changes obviously in the cooling layer while the pressure remains constant.Consequently,the Au plasmas in the cooling layer are compressed,and the density incrustation is formed.It is also shown that when the high-Z plasma opacity decreases or the low-Z plasma opacity increases,the peak density of the density incrustation becomes lower and the thickness of the density incrustation becomes wider.This phenomenon is crucial to the Ray-leigheTaylor instability at the interface of high-Z and low-Z plasmas,since the density variation of Au plasmas has a considerable influence on the Atwood number of the interface.
By solving a time-dependent Schrodinger equation（TDSE）, we studied the electron capture process in the He^2＋＋ H collision system under a strong magnetic field in a wide projectile energy range. The strong enhancement of the total charge transfer cross section is observed for the projectile energy below 2.0 ke V/u. With the projectile energy increasing, the cross sections will reduce a little and then increase again, compared with those in the field-free case. The cross sections to the states with different magnetic quantum numbers are presented and analyzed where the influence due to Zeeman splitting is obviously found, especially in the low projectile energy region. The comparison with other models is made and the tendency of the cross section varying with the projectile energy is found closer to that from other close coupling models.
