We present calculated and measured elastic and vibrational excitation cross sections in benzene with the objective to assess the reliability of the theoretical method and to shed more light on how the electronic motion of the incoming electron is coupled with the nuclear motion of the vibrations. The calculation employed the discrete momentum representation method which involves solving the...

Joint experimental and theoretical study on vibrational excitation cross sections for electron collisions with diacetylene

Čurík, Roman ; Paidarová, Ivana ; Allan, Michael ; Čársky, Petr

In: The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2014, vol. 118, no. 41, p. 9734–9744

We have measured and calculated differential and integral cross sections for elastic and vibrationally inelastic electron scattering by diacetylene molecules at electron energies from 0.5 to 20 eV in the whole range of scattering angles from 0 to 180°. The calculations were carried out using the discrete momentum representation method (DMR), which is based on the two-channel Lippmann–Schwinger...
