We present numerically calculated triply differential cross sections for the simple ionization of two targets, atomic hydrogen and ammonia, in the First Born Approximation framework with one Coulomb wave describing the ejected electron. The partial wave series of the wavefunctions centered around the same origin were used and the intial state molecular wavefunction was derived using information provided by Gaussian03 software for ammonia. The theoretical results are calculated in the geometrical settings and kinematical conditions of previous experiments and are compared to published experimental and theoretical data. The results show good agreement with previous studies based on the same model for hydrogen. The general shape of the triply differential cross sections obtained for ammonia are in acceptable agreement with experimental data in the binary region but not in the recoil region where our simple framework fails to reconstruct the recoil peaks.

Secondary electron energy and angle dependent differential cross sections for the production of cations SiHn+ (n=0–3), H2+ and H+ resulting from dissociative ionization of SiH4by electron collision have been evaluated at fixed incident electron energies of 100 and 200 eV. The semiempirical formulation of Jain and Khare which requires the oscillator strength data as a major input has been employed. In the absence of experimental data for differential cross sections, the corresponding derived integral partial and total ionization cross sections in the energy range varying from ionization threshold to 1000 eV revealed a satisfactory agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data. We have also evaluated the ionization rate coefficients on the basis of calculated partial ionization cross sections and Maxwell-Boltzmann energy distributions.

Several crossed-beam experiments were performed to acquire information concerning collisions of low-impact-energy electrons with ground-state or laser-excited sodium atoms prepared in 32P3/2, F = 3 (MF = +3 or −3) polarized states. Results of these experiments are the azimuthal asymmetry of the differential cross sections between two polarized states in the elastic electron collision (3P → 3P) at selected scattering angles, absolute differential cross sections for elastic, inelastic, and superelastic scattering obtained with no normalization procedure involved, and total ionization cross sections in the threshold energy range.

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.

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.

Double differential cross sections at six angles ranging from 45° to 143° have been measured for the 12C(e,p)e′ reaction. The proton energy ranged from 15.6 to 17.2 MeV at an incident electron energy of 200 MeV. At the backward angles our results are in good agreement with data reported by Vysotskaya and Afanas'ev but for forward angles the results are lower.


Due to abundant applications of ionization in various fields of applied sciences, it’s desirable to calculate absolute ionization cross sections of various atoms or molecules. In this literature, we have calculated the absolute direct and dissociative ionization cross sections of the oxygen molecule from threshold energy to 10,000 eV by using revisited Jain-Khare semi-empirical approach. In this literature, the total direct and absolute ionization cross section data have compared with easily available experimental and/or theoretical data. The present results give a better account for the ionization cross sections up to higher incident electron energies.

We have used the nonrelativistic convergent close-coupling (CCC) method to investigate electron scattering from the ground (6s2)1S state and excited (6s6p)1 Po1 and (6s5d)1,3De2 states of barium. For the scattering from the barium ground state, we have found very good agreement with measurements of (6s6p)1 Po1 apparent cross sections at all energies. Similarly, good agreement is found for differential cross sections for elastic scattering and (6s6p)1 Po and (6s5d)1 De2 excitations and with the (6s6p)1 Po1 state electron{photon angular correlations. For the scattering from excited states of barium we have found good agreement with elastic (6s6p)1 Po1 scattering and the (6s5d)1De2 → (6s6p)1 Po1 transition for both differential cross sections and electron–photon angular correlations.

Doubly differential cross sections for projectile ionization in fast collisions of few-electron uranium ions with the nitrogen target are calculated within the first order of the relativistic perturbation theory. A comparison with the recent measurements of the energy distribution of forward-emitted electrons is made and good agreement is found.
