Differential cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons by N₂O in the range from 10 to 80 eV

Elastic and rotational excitation cross sections for electron–nitrous oxide collisions

“…In Figures 1 and 2 we show our calculated DCS (rotationally summed) for elastic electron–N 2 O scattering in the 3–30‐eV range along with some available experimental data 10, 11, 15, 16. The previous calculated DCS using the Born‐closure Schwinger variational method within the SE approximation 17 along with the calculated results of Morgan et al 20 and Winstead and McKoy 21 are also shown for comparison.…”

“… The DCS for elastic e − − N 2 O scattering at (a) 3 eV and (b) 10 eV. Full curve indicates rotationally summed results; short dashed line, theoretical results of Morgan et al 20; dashed line, calculated results of Michelin et al 17; long‐dashed line, calculated results of Winstead and McKoy 21; full squares, experimental data of Marinković et al 10; full circles, experimental data of the SU group 16; open squares, experimental data of the ANU group 16; open circles, experimental data of Johnstone and Newell 11. …”

“…Therefore, it is not surprising that in the past two decades, several experimental studies on electron–N 2 O scattering were reported in the literature, including grand total (elastic + inelastic) cross‐section (TCS) measurements 7–9, elastic differential cross‐sections (DCS) 10, 11 vibrationally inelastic DCS 12–16, and electronic excitation cross‐sections 10. Also on the theoretical side, low‐energy elastic collisions between electrons and N 2 O have been the subject of several recent investigations both at the static‐exchange (SE) 17–19 and/or static‐exchange‐polarization (SEP) levels of approximation 18, 20, 21.…”

Databases for collisional and radiative processes in small molecules needed for spectroscopy use in astrophysics

“…2. Two sets of data are presented from Marinković et al (1986) (panel a)) and Kitajima et al (1999) (panel b)) in the energy range from 10 eV to 100 eV. One can easily see the forward peaked nature of the elastic cross sections and the variation of magnitude in three orders.…”

Elastic and absorption cross sections for electron–carbon monosulfide collisions

“…Again, comparison is made with the calculated data for the e Ϫ -N 2 O scattering [18]. First, one notes that the ICS and MTCS calculated using the SDCI wave function are larger than the corresponding results obtained with the [32]; asterisks, data of Marinković et al [29]. …”
