Elastic scattering of e∓ by Na atoms

ABSTRACT The differential, integrated elastic, momentum transfer, viscosity and total cross-sections along with Sherman function for the elastic scattering of electrons and positrons by sodium atoms have been calculated within the framework of complex projectile–atom optical potential model at the impact energies 0.1 ≤ Ei ≤ 104 eV for both the projectiles. The relativistic Dirac partial wave techniques, with accurate analytical charge densities, are used to obtain the scattering amplitudes. The present results produce satisfactory agreement with the experimental measurements and other theoretical calculations available in the literature.

Elastic scattering of electrons and positrons by cadmium atoms

ABSTRACT The differential, integrated elastic, total and momentum transfer cross sections along with Sherman function for the elastic scattering of electrons and positrons by cadmium atoms have been evaluated from the partial wave solution of the Dirac relativistic scattering equations for a projectile-atom complex potential at the energy range 6.4 eV < E < 1.0 keV. For various scattering quantities, a comparison of our results exhibits better agreement with the experimental data than the other available theoretical values. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Ion impact stopping cross sections for various media (Z = 3–100)

ABSTRACT Stopping cross sections (SCS) for protons, alphas and Li ions are calculated with a modified form of our earlier work by incorporating a different electron density distribution of target materials; this involves four parameters – two projectile dependent and the rest two remain fixed. The prosed model has been tested for three stripped ion (H+, He2 + and Li3 +) projectiles and found that it describes quite satisfactorily the experimental SCS data from low energies with projectile velocities nearing v = Z1v0 (with Z1 as the atomic number and v0 the Bohr velocity) up to 100.0 MeV over a wide range of stopping media with atomic numbers Z2 =3–100.
