Absolute cross sections of ultra-soft x-ray radiation in electron scattering upon atoms and the soft-photons approximation

We calculated the cross sections of ultra-soft x-ray bremsstrahlung in electron scattering upon Ar, Kr and Xe. The results are consistent with the absolute values of the differential cross sections measured by Gnatchenko et al. (2009) [17] for scattering electrons with an energy of 600 eV on these atoms.

Cross sections of electron capture and electron capture ionization versus the impact parameter in collisions of a proton with multielectron atoms

The absolute differential cross sections of scattering of hydrogen atoms resulting from an electron capture and an electron capture ionization are measured for collisions of 4.5- and 11-keV protons with argon and xenon atoms. The range of scattering angles is 0°–2°. From the scattering differential cross section found experimentally, the probabilities of single-electron capture and electron capture ionization as a function of the impact parameter are calculated. The dependences of the incident particle scattering angle on the impact parameter (deviation function) for interactions with Ar and Xe atoms are calculated in terms of classical mechanics using the Moliére—Yukawa potential to describe the interaction of atomic particles. Analysis is given to the probabilities of electron capture and electron capture ionization versus the impact parameter and to the distribution of the electron density on different electron shells in a target atom versus a distance to the core. It is concluded that only electrons from the outer shell of the target atom are involved in the process of electron capture ionization. The cross section of electron capture ionization is calculated in the proton energy range 5–20 keV.     

Absolute doubly differential cross sections for electron bremsstrahlung from rare gas atoms at 28 and 50 keV

Absolute doubly differential bremsstrahlung cross sections from Xe, Kr, Ar, and Ne have been measured for electron bombarding energies of 28 and 50 keV. Bremsstrahlung photons have been detected at 90 degrees to the incident electron beam at energies ranging from 5 keV up to the kinematic end point. The results are compared with predictions of ordinary bremsstrahlung and of total bremsstrahlung that include polarizational bremsstrahlung from the target atom calculated in the stripping approximation. All previous absolute cross sections have been from thin-film solid targets and have not shown any polarizational bremsstrahlung contribution. The present results, the first from free atoms, provide definitive evidence for the contribution of polarizational bremsstrahlung to the photon spectrum from electron bremsstrahlung.     

Measurement of the absolute cross section for the elementary process of atomic field bremsstrahlung

Coincidence measurements of the absolute cross section for the production of bremsstrahlung by electrons in the field of gold atoms are reported. The incident electron energyT ₀ was 300 keV. Measurements were made for four different combinations of electron scattering angle and photon emission angle over a wide range of the relative photon energyk/T ₀ up tok/T ₀=0.83. The measured cross sections are compared with results of Bethe-Heitler and Elwert-Haug calculations     

Threshold phenomena in electron-atom scattering in a laser field

Effective-range theory is developed to describe the processes of multiphoton bremsstrahlung absorption and the emission of laser radiation that accompanies the scattering of electrons from atoms in a laser field. It is found that the cross sections for multiphoton absorption in the plateau region increases resonantly for electron energies corresponding to the thresholds of induced bremsstrahlung (i.e., multiples of the photon energy). It is shown that this effect is caused by the laser-field modified threshold phenomena in the cross sections for multichannel reactions (Baz’ threshold anomalies).     

The role of the polarization mechanism for emission of radiation by atoms over a broad photon frequency range

This paper develops an effective method for calculating the bremsstrahlung cross section with allowance for the polarization mechanism. We calculate the cross section of bremsstrahlung produced in the scattering of electrons and positrons by H and Kr atoms. We also demonstrate the important role of polarization bremsstrahlung in the formation of the total emission spectrum over the entire frequency range. Zh. éksp. Teor.

Electron Transitions during the Capture of an Electron by a He<Superscript>2+</Superscript> Ion at the Argon Atom

We have measured the absolute values of the total cross section of the one-electron capture by He²⁺ ions in the kinetic energy range 2–30 keV at the Ar atoms. The absolute values of the differential scattering cross sections of He⁺ ions formed during the one-electron capture and the electron capture with ionization at energies of 2.2, 5.4, and 30 keV have been determined. The electronic states of the formed ions have been determined using collision spectroscopy based on analysis of the change in the kinetic energy of He⁺ after the interaction. We have measured doubly differential (with respect to the kinetic energy and the scattering angle) cross sections of the formation of free electrons. The free electron formation channels (direct ionization and electron capture with ionization) have been analyzed by calculating the electron terms of the (HeAr)²⁺ system. The calculated cross section of capture with ionization is in conformity with the cross section measured using collision spectroscopy.

Bremsstrahlung production by colliding beams of protons and electrons

The differential cross section of bremsstrahlung emitted in the head-on collision of beams of energetic protons and electrons is calculated in the laboratory frame. The angular distribution of the photons is more isotropic than in the common bremsstrahlung production on stationary target atoms. The total cross section is determined by integration over the photon angles which are allowed kinematically.     

Total cross section prediction of the collisions of positrons and electrons with alkali atoms using Gradient Tree Boosting

A relatively new computational technique, namely gradient tree boosting (GTB), is presented for modeling the total cross sections of the scattering of positrons and electrons by alkali atoms in the low and intermediate energy regions. The calculations have been performed in the framework of gradient tree boosting (GTB). The GTB has been running based on the experimental data of the total collisional cross sections to produce the total cross sections for each alkali atom as a function of the incident energy of the projectile as well as the atomic number and the static dipole polarizability of the atom. Moreover our GTB model is used to predict the experimental data for total collisional cross sections that are not used in the training session. The calculated and predicted total collisional cross sections are compared with the experimental data. We find that the GTB technique shows a good match to the experimental data. To our knowledge, this is the first application of the GTB technique to the data of positron and electron collisions with alkali atoms at low and intermediate energies.     

Mössbauer characterization of biotites from zoned pegmatites

We have measured total cross sections for 5–302 eV positrons and 31–302 eV electrons scattered by atomic hydrogen using a beam-transmission technique. Atomic hydrogen obtained from a radio frequency (rf) discharge source flows into an aluminium scattering cell maintained at about 150 K to minimize recombination. Absolute total cross sections are obtained by making relative measurements for positrons and electrons scattering from H₂ and a known mixture of H and H₂, and then normalizing the measurements for positron-H₂ scattering to prior absolute measurements. Our total cross section measurements for positrons and electrons scattering from H are found to be merged to within 5% for energies from 31 to 302 eV.     

Absolute triple differential cross sections for electron impact ionization of helium: Comparison between experimental and theoretical results at 256 eV collision energy

Triple differential cross sections have been measured for electron impact ionization of helium at 256 eV collision energy, 3 eV energy of the slow outgoing electrons and scattering angles of the fast outgoing electrons of 4°, 6°, 8°, and 10°. The data have been put on absolute scale by extrapolating the generalized oscillator strength to zero momentum transfer. In this optical limit the triple differential cross sections can be normalized by using the well-known cross sections for photoionization. The experimental data are compared with results of different theoretical approaches. For nearly all calculated curves rather good agreement with the measurements is obtained for the relative shape of the binary peak, while often its absolute cross section is overestimated. Concerning the recoil peak, larger discrepancies are found with respect to both, relative shapes and cross sections. A perceptible improvement can be stated for calculations which have been performed in a distorted wave approximation and in second Born approximation.

The total cross sections are quantitatively compared with those obtained by experiments wherever available, and they are in good agreement with each other over a wide energy range. It is shown that the modified potential together with the additivity rule model is completely suitable for the calculation of total cross sections of electrons scattering from such complex molecules as C2H6, C2F6, C6H6 and C6F6 above 200 eV-300 eV.     

Interference effects on the photoionization cross sections between two neighbouring atoms: nitrogen as an example

Interference effects on the photoionization cross sections between two neighbouring atoms are considered based on the coherent scattering of the ionized electrons by the two nuclei when their separation is less than or comparable to the de Broglie wave length of the ionized electrons. As an example, the single atomic nitrogen ionization cross section and the total cross sections of two nitrogen atoms with coherently added photoionization amplitudes are calculated from the threshold to about 60~\AA (1~\AA=0.1~nm) of the photon energy. The photoionization cross sections of atomic nitrogen are obtained by using the close-coupling R-matrix method. In the calculation 19 states are included. The ionization energy of the atomic nitrogen and the photoionization cross sections agree well with the experimental results. Based on the R-matrix results of atomic nitrogen, the interference effects between two neighbouring nitrogen atoms are obtained. It is shown that the interference effects are considerable when electrons are ionized just above the threshold, even for the separations between the two atoms are larger than two times of the bond length of N₂ molecules. Therefore, in hot and dense samples, effects caused by the coherent interference between the neighbours are expected to be observable for the total photoionization cross sections.

Investigation of the effect of nucleus charge and atomic electron distributions on the processes of polarized bremsstrahlung of electrons in crystals

The process of polarized bremsstrahlung of electrons in crystals has been theoretically investigated with application of the new method taking into account the screening of the Coulomb nucleus field by atomic electrons. Real changes in the cross sections of both polarized and unpolarized bremsstrahlung and the degrees of particle polarization in a silicon crystal are obtained.     

Explicit designs of spin chains for perfect quantum state transfer

For the process of electron-electron (e-e) bremsstrahlung the momentum and energy distributions of the recoiling electrons are calculated in the laboratory frame. In order to get the differential cross section and the photon spectrum for target electrons which are bound to an atom, these formulae are multiplied by the incoherent scattering function and numerically integrated over the recoil energy. The effect of atomic binding is most pronounced at low energies of the incident electrons and for target atoms of high atomic numbers. The results are compared to those of previous calculations.
