Elastic electron scattering by water molecules
Keywords:
Molecular excitation, elastic scattering of electrons, variational principleAbstract
We report an application of the Schwinger variational principle with plane waves as a trial basis set. Differential cross sections are obtained for e$^-$- H$_2$O from 10 to 50~eV. In these studies the exchange potential is evaluated by the Born-Ochkur model and our results are found to be in reasonable agreement with experimental data and theoretical studies.Downloads
