Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a widely used insulator in the industry, but it also has a high global warming potential. Studying electron impact ionization of SF6, particularly measuring the energy and angular distributions of the collision products, can provide valuable information about the underlying physics of the collision process and the nature of SF6 molecule. In this study, double differential cross sections (DDCSs) for electron impact ionization of SF6 have measured using a crossed beam experimental setup. The incident electron beam, with an energy range of 50-350 eV, was directed towards a target gas composed of SF6, and scattered electrons were detected as a function of the energy and scattering angle. The findings of this study offer significant insights into the molecular structure of SF6 and will contribute to enhancing the understanding of charged particle interactions involving SF6.
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.
