Differential, total, elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections due to the electron impact on the primary nucleic acid bases, are calculated with relativistic Dirac partial-wave considering a local interaction potential known as spherical complex optical potential model. The electron scattering is modeled by implementing screening-corrected additivity rule, a modified form of independent atom model, over an energy range of 10-20000 eV. Comparisons of results obtained in this work with other theoretical and experimental approaches are also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
