Electron Scattering from Methyl Formate (HCOOCH): A Joint Theoretical and Experimental Study.

Elastic low-energy electron collisions with methyl formate have been studied theoretically at the level of various theories. The elastic integral cross section was calculated using Schwinger multichannel and R-matrix methods, in the static-exchange and static-exchange plus polarization levels of approximations for energies up to 15 eV. The absolute total cross section for electron scattering from methyl formate has been measured in a wide energy range (0.

Joint experimental and theoretical study on electron scattering from titanium tetrachloride (TiCl) molecule.

Absolute grand-total cross section for electron scattering from titanium tetrachloride, TiCl, molecule was measured at electron-impact energies ranging from 0.3 to 300 eV, in the linear electron-transmission experiment. The elastic integral, differential, momentum transfer, and total ionization cross sections for TiCl molecule were also calculated for low and intermediate collisional energies at the level of various theories.

Electron collisions with X(CH) molecules (X = C, Si, Ge).

Absolute grand-total cross sections (TCSs) for electron scattering from tetramethylmethane [C(CH)], tetramethylsilane [Si(CH)], and tetramethylgermane [Ge(CH)] molecules have been measured at electron-impact energies extending from around 0.5 to 300 eV in the linear electron-transmission experiment. The measured TCS energy dependences show very pronounced broad enhancement, peaking near 5.

Electron collisions with methyl-substituted ethylenes: Cross section measurements and calculations for 2-methyl-2-butene and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene.

We report electron-scattering cross sections determined for 2-methyl-2-butene [(H3C)HC = C(CH3)2] and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene [(H3C)2C = C(CH3)2] molecules. Absolute grand-total cross sections (TCSs) were measured for incident electron energies in the 0.5-300 eV range, using a linear electron-transmission technique.

Electron scattering by trimethylene oxide, c-(CH2)3O, molecules.

Electron-scattering cross sections have been determined for trimethylene oxide, cyclic (CH(2))(3)O molecule, both experimentally and theoretically. The absolute total cross section (TCS) has been measured over energies from 1 to 400 eV using a linear electron-transmission method. The obtained TCS generally decreases with rising energy, except for the 3-10 eV range, where some resonantlike structures are discernible.

Electron collisions with trifluorides: BF3 and PF3 molecules.

Absolute total cross sections (TCSs) for electron scattering from boron trifluoride (BF(3)) and phosphorus trifluoride (PF(3)) molecules have been measured using a linear transmission method. The electron energy ranges from 0.6 to 370 eV for BF(3) and from 0.
