A novel description of charge-exchange reactions at intermediate energies is developed, based on both phenomenological or microscopic eikonal phase-shift functions. The results obtained within this eikonal approach are in good agreement with the distorted-wave Born approximation calculations within the energy region where both approximations should be valid. They also compare well with the experimental data, even at relatively low energy domain. At higher energies, relativistic kinematics have also been added and shown to be relevant. Owing to the microscopic feature of the formulation, our theory also has the advantage that it can be applied to high energies where the phenomenological optical potentials are rarely available.
