“…The fully RDWA method has proved to provide quite reliable results for electron-atom excitation processes at intermediate and high energies [24][25][26]. In this method, the scattering amplitude which connects the transition matrix is obtained using both the bound target atomic wave functions and the projectile scattered electron wave function by solving the relativistic Dirac equations.…”

“…This method is particularly suited for calculations of relatively heavy atoms where spin-orbit coupling can be important. Using the RDWA method, Das et al [24] have reported cross-sections for the excitation of Zn atoms using elaborate multi-configuration Dirac-Fock wave functions calculated by the GRASP2K program [27]. Details of the configurations used and the results for the atomic properties are given in [24].…”

“…As one specific recent example, accurate cross sections for electron collisions with ytterbium atoms are needed in the modelling of the enrichment process that is the basis for the creation of Lu-177, which carries great promise in the treatment of a variety of cancers [4]. While some experimental data and theoretical predictions are available in the literature [2,[5][6][7][8][9], the comprehensive dataset needed for the modeling requires calculations for a large number of discrete transitions as well as ionization over an extended energy range. In this context, it also important to have reliable absolute cross sections.…”
