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.
