Abstract

A study was carried out to explore the neutral-atom-ion-collision properties in the ultralow-energy regime. The elastic and charge-transfer cross sections were calculated using accurate potential curves. Further, the ion diffusion coefficient and mobility were computed. It was found that mobility follows a simple classical expression for temperatures ranging from 10 nK to 100 K. Below 10 nK, a rapid increase of the mobility with decreasing temperature was observed.
