Theoretical studies of reactive charge transfer processes at Stockholm University

We are looking for a PhD candidate to contribute to the development
of theoretical methods for studying reactive charge-transfer processes.
When oppositely charged ions collide, the resulting dynamics cannot be
fully described within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. In collisions
involving molecular ions, not only does charge transfer occur, but
molecular bonds may also break or form. These processes are crucial for
understanding how molecules are created and destroyed in the
interstellar medium, yet our current knowledge of them remains
limited.
