Relativistic B-Spline R-Matrix Calculations for Electron Collisions with Ytterbium
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have applied the full-relativistic Dirac B-Spline R-matrix method to obtain cross sections for electron scattering from ytterbium atoms. The results are compared with those obtained a semi-relativistic (Breit-Pauli) model-potential approach and few available experimental data.

R-matrix calculations of low-energy electron collisions with methane
R-matrix calculations are performed for electron collision with CH4 at energies between 0.02 and 15 eV using a series of different ab initio models for both the target and the full scattering system. A target model similar to the standard multi-reference configuration interaction used in electronic structure calculations is found to give the best results. Results are presented for elastic scatt...
متن کاملR-matrix calculations of differential and integral cross sections for low-energy electron collisions with ethanol
Electron collisions with C2H5OH are studied up to impact energies of 10 eV using several theoretical models. Calculated differential cross sections suggest that the extrapolation to low angles used to extend experimental data and hence give integral cross sections significantly underestimates the large, dipole-driven forward scattering cross section. An improved set of values for the rotational...
متن کاملElectron collisions with CF radicals using the R-matrix method
Radicals CF (x=1-3) are formed in the upper atmosphere by photolysis of fluorocarbons the bulk of which are generated in the plasma industry. Fluorocarbon plasmas are used in plasma etching technology and surface modification of materials. Many of the processes that occur in these plasmas are poorly characterized and understood, providing a significant roadblock for the construction of reliable...
متن کاملElectron–molecule collision calculations using the R-matrix method
The R-matrix method is an embedding procedure which is based on the division of space into an inner region where the physics is complicated and an outer region for which greatly simplified equations can be solved. The method developed out of nuclear physics, where the effects of the inner region were simply parametrized, into atomic andmolecular physics, where the full problem can be formulated...
متن کاملSoft collisions in relativistic runaway electron avalanches
This paper reports the first application of the relativistic binary-encounter-Bethe (RBEB) electron impact ionization model for studies of relativistic runaway electron avalanches (RREA) phenomenon at different pressures in air, which is believed to be the root cause of the hard x-rays and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes observed in the Earth’s atmosphere in association with lightning activity. T...
