Abstract
We report calculations of diffusion, excitation transfer, width, and shift cross sections. We use these cross sections to obtain the diffusion coefficient and the width and line shift due to collisions of alkali-metal atoms in the impact approximation. The results are compared to analytical expressions obtained from semiclassical treatments, and with measured widths for sodium atoms. Extension to other alkali metal atoms is also given.
