Elastic electron scattering from formic acid (HCOOH): absolute differential cross-sections
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report experimental results for electron scattering from formic acid (HCOOH). A set of differential cross-sections is provided for elastic scattering at incident electron energies from 1.8 to 50 eV. Integral and momentum transfer cross-sections have also been derived from these results. Our results are compared, where possible, with recent theoretical calculations.

متن کاملCalculations of electron impact ionization cross section for simple biomolecules: Formic and acetic acids
Cross sections for single electron-impact ionization of formic acid (HCOOH) and acetic acid (CH3–COOH) are calculated using the binaryencounter-Bethe model in the energy range from the ionization threshold up to 4000 eV. The present results are compared with available experimental and theoretical data.
متن کاملAbsolute cross sections for electron scattering from furan.
We report results of measurements and calculations of absolute cross sections for electron scattering from furan molecules (C(4)H(4)O). The experimental absolute differential cross sections (DCSs) for elastic electron scattering were obtained for the incident energies from 50 eV to 300 eV and for scattering angles from 20° to 110°, by using a crossed electron-target beam setup and the relative ...
متن کاملExperimental evidence on the mechanism of dissociative electron attachment to formic acid.
Two mechanisms for dissociative electron attachment in HCOOH, the formation of HCOO(-)+H, were proposed in the literature: (i) via a direct electron attachment into a σ* resonance, augmented by dipole binding of the incident electron [G. A. Gallup et al., Phys. Rev. A 79, 042701 (2009)], and (ii) with the 1.8 eV π* resonance as a doorway state, linked to the products by symmetry lowering-distor...
متن کاملDifferential elastic electron scattering cross sections for CCl4 by 1.5-100 eV energy electron impact.
We report absolute elastic differential, integral and momentum transfer cross sections for electron interactions with CCl(4). The incident electron energy range is 1.5-100 eV, and the scattered electron angular range for the differential measurements varies from 15°-130°. The absolute scale of the differential cross section was set using the relative flow technique with helium as the reference ...
