Electron-Molecule Scattering

TL;DR: Using real-time time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) modeling, the energy transfer and internal excitations for the low energy (up to 270 eV) electron wave packet impact with the molecular target cobalt tricarbonyl nitrosyl (CTN, Co(CO)3NO) that is used as a precursor in electron-enhanced atomic layer deposition (EE-ALD) growth of Co films were analyzed in this paper.

TL;DR: The elastic cross section in helium was examined using electrons with a narrow energy spread as discussed by the authors, and a sharp resonance was found in the scattered electrons at an angle THETA = 72 deg at an energy below the onset of the first excited state.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the plots of the logarithm of the ratio of the galvanometer current G to the total electron current M from the filament, as a function of the pressure, to determine the absorption coefficient for various accelerating voltages from 2 to 360.

TL;DR: In this article, the adiabatic-nuclei theory is shown to be quantitatively applicable to vibrational excitation of diatomic molecules by electron impact, and the dependence of the fixed nuclei phase shifts on internuclear separation is approximated by a two-term Taylor series.

TL;DR: The absolute total cross section for pure rotational excitation in the energy range 1-10 eV is presented in this paper, where the measurements of angular dependences indicate $s$-, $p$-, and $d$-wave scattering.
