Spin exchange in elastice-O2collisions

Abstract: Recent experiments using polarized electron beams have shown that spin-exchange effects for elastic collisions with 02 and NO are much smaller than for Na atoms. We report calculated spin-flip differential cross sections for elastic collisions

“…Some other calculations 7,8 for O 2 using different theoretical methods have also confirmed the observation by da Paixão et al. 5 Recently, we reported a theoretical investigation on spin-exchange effects in the elastic electron collisions with the open-shell C 2 O radical 9 using the iterative Schwinger variational method (ISVM). 10,11 In that study, we have shown that the exchange effects are strongly enhanced by the occurrence of shape resonances.…”

“…The present polarization fractions are calculated according to equation 14 using the rotationally summed spin-averaged DCSs and SF DCSs. Actually, the summation over rotational transitions is equivalent to the molecular orientations averaging procedure used by da Paixão et al 5 It is interesting to see in Figures 6 and 7 that our calculated rotationally-summed SPFs show strong oscillations in the resonance region and particularly at large scattering angles, and their magnitudes deviate significantly from 1. These results reinforce what was observed in our previous study for elastic e --C 2 O collisions, 9 that is, the spin-exchange effects between the scattered electron and the unpaired electrons of the target can be significantly enhanced by the occurrence of resonances.…”

“…smoother was advanced by da Paixao et al 35 In this case they argued that the observed behavior is related to the random molecular orientations in the gas. We also note that we are currently extending our measurements to lower energies, with our preliminary results suggesting that molecular-like behavior becomes increasingly important as you go to the lower incident electron energies.…”

“…Theoretical calculations of elastic scattering also predict small depolarizations for these molecules, apparently because significant effects that exist for specific orientations of the internuclear axis are washed out by angular averaging [12,13]. We note, however, that theoretical calculations of electron spin depolarization during collisions with triplet excited states of H 2 molecules find large average depolarization effects [14].…”
