In strongly coupled plasmas, the orientation phenomena for direct
excitations in electron-hydrogenic ion collisions are
investigated using the ion-sphere interaction potential. For small impact
parameters, the orientation parameters have minima which correspond to the
complete
transitions. The target screening effects slightly increase the probability
of populating the
state.
