A local collision probability approximation for predicting momentum transfer cross sections.
نویسنده
چکیده
The local collision probability approximation (LCPA) method is introduced to compute molecular momentum transfer cross sections for comparison to ion mobility experiments. The LCPA replaces the (non-local) scattering trajectory used in the trajectory method to describe the collision process by a (local) collision probability function. This momentum transfer probability is computed using the exact same analyte-buffer interaction potential as used in the trajectory method. Subsequently, the momentum transfer cross section ΩLCPA(T) is calculated in a projection-type manner (corrected for shape effects through a shape factor). Benchmark calculations on a set of 208 carbon clusters with a range of molecular size and degree of concavity demonstrate that LCPA and trajectory calculations agree closely with one another. The results discussed here indicate that the LCPA is suitable to efficiently calculate momentum transfer cross sections for use in ion mobility spectrometry in conjunction with different buffer gases.

In this project, the Faddeev-Watson-Lovelace (FWL) formalism is generalized to large scattering angles. The angular range includes 0-180 degrees. Using this method, the charge transfer differential cross-sections are calculated, in a second-order approximation, for collision of energetic positrons and electrons with neutral positronium atoms. In this approximation, the rearrangement amplitude c...
متن کاملA new approximation for atom-diatom rotational-relaxation cross sections.
A semiclassical approximation to the S matrix of the infinite-order-sudden approximation is introduced. This is employed to yield for the energy-transfer effective cross section a purely classical approximation, analogous to the Mason-Monchick approximation [J. Chem. Phys. 36, 1622 (1962)] for traditional collision integrals. Constraints on energy and on angular momentum transfer are included. ...

ECPSSR cross sections for inner-shell ionization are compared with numerical calculations that use correct and wrong expressions for exact limits of momentum transfer. For very adiabatic collisions, the employment of the wrong expression, as done in several popularly utilized computer codes, overestimates the cross sections up to two orders of magnitude. By contrast, even in such collisions the...

A classical theory is developed which calculates the momentum transfer rate constant between an ion and a non-polar molecule. The model takes into consideration the effect of diffraction outside the capture limit on the rate constants. The theory is used to calculate momentum transfer rate constant for Cl- with trans-dichloroethylene and para-difluorobenzene. Theoretical results ...
