Optical Transitions and Charge-Exchange in Highly Charged Quasi-Molecules

Figure 1

Molecular orbital correlation diagram for the quasi-molecule 𝑍₁𝑒𝑍₂ with 𝑍₁=1.5 and 𝑍₂=1. For the notation of the molecular orbitals, we use the united ion designation in the left part of the figure and the parabolic quantum numbers in brackets in the right part of the figure. 𝑛 stands for the main quantum number in the separated ions limit, and the primed numbers are for the ion with 𝑍₁=1.
