Compact Fitting Formulas for Electron-Impact Cross Sections
نویسنده
چکیده
Compact fitting formulas, which contain four fitting constants, are presented for electron-impact excitation and ionization cross sections of atoms and ions. These formulas can fit experimental and theoretical cross sections remarkably well, when resonant structures are smoothed out, from threshold to high incident electron energies (< 10 keV), beyond which relativistic formulas are more appropriate. Examples of fitted cross sections for some atoms and ions are presented. The basic form of the formula is valid for both atoms and molecules.

Calculation of electron impact excitation and ionization cross sections for light elements
The present work is devoted to the calculation of excitation and ionization cross sections and rate coefficients for light elements. The calculation is performed by the complex of programs ATOM-AKM [1]. The algorithms for excitation and ionization are rather different. They will be described in separate sections. Supplementary data associated with this article (cross sections σ, rate coefficien...
متن کاملCross Sections for Singly Differential and Total Ionization of Helium by Electron Impact
The binary-encounter dipole ~BED! model for electron-impact ionization is applied to helium using the continuum dipole oscillator strength calculated from the relativistic random-phase approximation. The resulting total ionization cross section agrees with available experimental data well within the quoted experimental uncertainties. The singly differential (5energy distribution of ejected elec...
متن کاملSimplified Approach for Torsional Analysis of Non-homogenous Tubes with Non-circular Cross-sections
In this paper a method is presented for torsional analysis of non-homogeneous tubes with arbitrarily shaped cross-sections. A previously presented method based on Bredt’s theory is extended to achieve formulas for torsional analysis. Shear modulus varies through the thickness according to a power law distribution. To validate the accuracy of the presented formulas for angle of twist and shear s...
متن کاملAbsolute cross sections for electron-impact single ionization of Neq+ (q=2,4-6) ions.
Absolute total cross sections for electron-impact single ionization of Ne ions have been measured using a crossed-beams technique from below the ground-state ionization threshold to 800 eV with typical total uncertainties near the peak of the cross sections ranging from for Ne to for Ne . Details of the apparatus and experimental procedures used in this study are presented along with a discussi...
متن کاملElectron-Impact Cross Sections for Dipole- and Spin-Allowed Excitations of Hydrogen, Helium, and Lithium
Electron-impact excitation cross sections are presented for the dipole- and spin allowed transitions from the ground states to the np (2)P states for hydrogen and lithium, and to the 1snp (1)P states for helium, n = 2 through 10. Two scaling formulas developed earlier by Kim [Phys. Rev. A 64, 032713 (2001)] for plane-wave Born cross sections are used. The scaled Born cross sections are in excel...
