Electron-impact single- and double-ionization cross sections and Maxwellian rate coefficients are presented for the carbon atom. Scaling factors are introduced for the electron-impact excitation and ionization cross sections obtained in the distorted wave (DW) approximation. It is shown that the scaled DW cross sections provide good agreement with measurements for the single ionization of the C atom and C1+ ion. The direct double-ionization (DDI) process is studied using a multi-step approach. Ionization–ionization, excitation–ionization–ionization, and ionization–excitation–ionization branches are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the three-step processes contribute ≼40% of the total DDI cross sections for the case where one of the electrons takes all of the excess energy after the first ionization process.

We present a review of applications of the convergent close-coupling method concentrating on spin-dependent electron-impact total ionization cross sections. The results for the electron-impact total ionization cross sections and the associated spin asymmetries of H, Li, O5+, Na, and He(23S) are reviewed, with new calculations being presented for the potassium target.

In the present investigation, the plane-wave Born approximation was employed to calculate the total ionization cross sections by electron impact of methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol from the threshold of ionization to 10 MeV. This method requires continuum generalized oscillator strengths (CGOSs). The two different semi-phenomenological expressions of CGOS, given by Mayol and Salvat and Weizsacker and Williams, along with approximated form of the continuum optical oscillator strength (COOS) by Khare et al. were used. Furthermore, the average of the above two CGOSs was also used. The calculated ionization cross sections were compared to the available previous theoretical results and experimental data. Out of three CGOSs, the present results with the average CGOS were found in good agreement with the available experimental results for all the considered molecules. Collision parameters CRP were also calculated from 0.1 to 100 MeV and the calculations were found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental results of Reike and Prepejchal.
