Total cross sections for electrons scattering from C2F4 and SO2 at 30- 5000 eV: considering the geometric shielding effect

Considering the changes of the geometric shielding effect in a molecule as the incident electron energy varing, an empirical fraction, which is dependent on the incident electron energy, is presented. Using this empirical fraction, the total cross sections (TCSs) for electrons scattering from complex polyatomic molecules C2F4 and SO2 are calculated over a wide energy range from 30 to 5000 eV together with the additivity rule model at Hartree-Fock level. In the TCS calculations, the atoms are presented by the spherical complex optical potential, which is composed of static, exchange, polarization and absorption contributions. The quantitative TCSs above 100 eV are in good agreement with those obtained by experiments and other theories. It is proved that the empirical fraction, which exhibits the TCS contributions of shielded atoms in a molecule at different energies, is reasonable.

Additivity rule for electron--molecule total cross section calculations at 50--5000eV: a new geometrical approach

Taking into consideration the changes of the geometric shielding effect in a molecule as the energy of incident electrons varies, this paper presents an empirical fraction, which depends on the energy of incident electrons, the target＇s molecular dimension and the atomic and electronic numbers in the molecule. Using this empirical fraction, it proposes a new formulation of the additivity rule. Employing the new additivity rule, it calculates the total cross sections of electron scattering by C2H4, C6H6, C6H14 and C8H18 over the energy range from 50 to 5000eV. In order to exclude the calculation deviations caused by solving the radial Schrodinger equation of electron scattering by atoms, here the atomic cross sections are derived from the experimental total cross section results of simple molecules （H2, O2, CO） via the inversion algorithm. The quantitative total cross sections are compared with those obtained by experiments and other theories, and good agreement is obtained over a wide energy range, even at energy of several tens of eV.

Considering the overlapping among atoms in the molecule and the not full transparency of the molecule by electron, we propose a new formulation of the additivity rule (AR).

The results are compared with the experimental data and other available theoretical calculations. This gives good agreement.

Total cross sections for electron scattering from sulfur compounds

The original additivity rule method cannot give good results for electron scattering from SO,SO2,SO2Cl2,SO2ClF,and SO2F2 molecules at low energy,because the electron-molecule scattering is simply reduced to electron-atom scattering.Considering the difference between the bound atom in a molecule and the corresponding free atom,the original additivity rule is revised.With the revised additivity rule,the total cross sections for electron scattering from these molecules are calculated over a wide energy range below 3000 eV and compared with the available experimental and theoretical data.A better agreement between them is obtained.     

Total Cross Sections for Electron Scattering from the Isoelectronic （Z = 14） Molecules （C2H2, CO, HCN and N2） at 100－5000eV

A complex optical model potential correlated by the conception of bonded atom, which considers the overlapping effect of electron clouds between the two atoms in a molecule, is firstly employed to calculate the total cross sections for electron scattering from the isoelectronic (Z = 14) molecules (C2H2, CO, HCN, and N2) at 100-5000 eV using the additivity rule at the Hartree-Fock level. The difference between the bonded atom and the free one is that the overlapping effect of electron clouds of bonded atoms in molecules is considered. The quantitative molecular total cross section results are compared with the experimental data and with the other calculations wherever available and good agreement is obtained above 100 eV. It is shown that the additivity rule along with the complex optical model potential considering the overlapping effect of electron clouds can give the results better than that uncorrelated by it. The correlating calculations are much closer to the experiments than the spherical-complex-optical-potential results in the lower energy region [Phys. Rev. A 45 (1992) 202]. Therefore,considering the overlapping effect of electron clouds in the complex optical potential could be helpful for the better accuracy of the total cross section calculations of electron scattering from molecules.

Cross sections for electron collision with five-membered ring heterocycles

The absolute total cross-section (TCS) for electron scattering from isoxasole, (CH)₃NO, molecule has been measured using the linear transmission technique for impact energies ranging from 1 to 400 eV. The measured TCS energy dependence appears typical for highly polar targets; over whole energy range applied, the magnitude of TCS generally decreases as the energy increases. Some narrow features located near 1.2 and 2.7 eV have been observed in the TCS curve as well as a broad enhancement spanned between 5 and 15 eV. The TCS for electron-isoxazole scattering has been compared with TCS data for furan, (CH)₄O; differences and similarities in the appearance of both TCSs energy functions are indicated and discussed. In addition, for several five-membered ring heterocycle molecules: isoxazole, pyrrole [(CH)₄NH] and tiophene [(CH)₄S], integral elastic (ECS) and ionization (ICS) cross sections have been calculated at intermediate and high electron-impact energies in the additivity rule approximation and the binary-encounter-Bethe approach, respectively. For isoxazole and furan the sums of ECS and ICS are in very good agreement with the respective measured TCSs above 50 − 60 eV.
