Scattering of electrons on metal clusters and fullerenes

Abstract: It is shown that the main contribution to the elastic cross section of fast electrons on metal clusters and fullerenes results from scattering on the frozen cluster potential, which is determined by the electron density distribution of the ground state of the target cluster. The specific shape of the electron distribution in fullerenes and metal clusters manifests itself in the diffraction behaviour of the elastic differential cross section. The analysis of the total elastic cross section dependence upon proje… Show more

“…The jellium model provides a very useful basis for studying various collision processes, such as photabsorption [43], photoionization [5,44,45], elastic [46,47] and inelastic scattering [47][48][49][50], electron attachment [51,52], photon emission [53,54] and others, involving metal clusters,. On the basis of the jellium model one can develop ab initio many-body theories, such as the random phase approximation with exchange or the Dyson equation method and effectively solve many-electron correlation problem even for relatatively large cluster systems containing up to 100 atoms or even more.…”

“…Therefore, the plasmon resonance approximation utilized and further advanced in the present work turns out to be also a very useful tool for the interpretation of the results of such quantum simulations. The validity of the plasmon resonance approximation was proved by the comparison of its results with those following from ab initio quantum calculations for the case of metal clusters [11,27], and also by the comparison with available experimental data [19,21].…”
