Electron impact total cross sections for simple biomolecules (HCOOH and H2CO) over a wide energy range (meV to keV)

Abstract

We present here total cross sections obtained as sum of elastic and electronic excitation cross sections below ionization threshold of the target and sum of elastic and inelastic cross sections above ionization threshold molecule. We employ two different codes, R matrix code through Quantemol N for low energies and Spherical Complex Optical Potential for intermediate and high energies. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
