In this study, we report the angular distribution of double differential cross sections of ejected electrons from Ar in intermediate energy region. Double differential cross-sections for electron impact ionization of argon have been measured at 348 eV. A hemispherical energy analyzer is used to analyze the ejected electrons with energies between 25 and 325 eV and angles between 25° and 130°.
Electron collisions with nitrogen molecules have an important role for example in ionospheric and auroral phenomena in the upper atmosphere of the Earth. These processes are important in electrical discharges involving atmospheric gases. Due to the key features electron collisions with N₂ have been under particular interest and extensively studied for last decades. Cross-section data is extremely useful in understanding the systematic of the ionization process. Since the earliest cross-section measurements of N₂, there have been a great number of improvements and new developments on theoretical and experimental methods. A crossed-beam apparatus so called electron spectrometer that has an effusive gas source and electron gun is used to obtain the cross-sections. Scattered and ejected electrons are analyzed by hemispherical electron analyzer. Here we report recent measurements of double differential cross-section for N₂ as a function of electron angle at incident electron energy of 350 eV.
Double differential cross-sections have been measured after ionizing electron collisions with methane at primary energy of 350 eV using a conventional electron spectrometer. An electrostatic analyzer was used to measure angular distributions of secondary electrons with energies between 25 eV and 300 eV. Angles of emission were 25° to 130°. It was found that the outgoing electrons belong to one of the two energetically separated groups, either the fast electrons which are scattered mainly in forward direction or the slow electrons which are distributed isotropically into all angles. For higher ejection energies the maxima shifted towards smaller angles as expected from binary type collision.
Detailed studies on ionization of atoms and molecules by electron impact have made numerous contributions to understanding of the structure of atoms and molecules including the interaction between particles. After a ionizing collision a scattered electron, an ejected electron and a recoil ion is formed. Doubly differential cross-sections give detailed information for one of the outgoing electrons. In this study, we report the angular distribution of double differential cross-sections of ejected electrons from He in intermediate energy region.
In this study, experimental and theoretical double differential cross section (DDCS) data for methane-electron interaction mechanism after the impact of a 250 eV electron have been comprehensively determined for a wide energy range of the detected electron, from 50 to 225 eV. The first Born-One Coulomb wave modeling with Gamow factor has been calculated to analyze experimental DDCS results for a correct description of the electron impact ionization of methane molecule. It is found that these theoretical calculations are successful to describe the post-collision interaction effects due to the Coulomb long-range interaction between the outgoing electrons in the final state. A considerable agreement is found between experimental and theoretical results.
