Analysis of electron impact ionization properties of methane
نویسندگان
چکیده
Published experimental photon and electron impact ionization cross sections of CH4 have been reviewed and analyzed. Absolute partial ionization oscillator strengths (fij) for CH4 , CH + 3 , CH + 2 , CH , H and H2 have been obtained. Electron impact ionization cross sections are recommended based on agreement between the oscillator strength values derived from photoionization and electron impact measurements. Analytic functions for cross sections of CH4 , CH + 3 , CH + 2 , CH , C, H2 and H + produced by electron impact ionization of CH4 are established. The derived excitation cross section functions are accurate from threshold to impact energies limited by the relativistic effects. The cross sections examined here are important for modeling Titan ionospheric chemistry.

Captopril is one of the most significant angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. In spite of numerous experimental and computational studies on its properties, not enough geometrical and thermodynamic data is available on this compound. So, this study aimed to investigate the structural properties and assignment of possible conformers of captopril in the gas-phase. To this end, 1152 unique tr...
