Mhf. Bettega et al., CROSS-SECTIONS FOR COLLISIONS OF LOW-ENERGY ELECTRONS WITH THE HYDRIDES PH3, ASH3, SBH3, SNH4, TEH2, AND HI, The Journal of chemical physics, 105(3), 1996, pp. 1029-1033
We calculated integral and differential cross sections for scattering
of low-energy electrons by two groups of hydrides from 10 to 30 eV. Th
e first group is composed by the hydrides of elements in the same colu
mn of the Periodic Table and includes PH3, AsH3, and SbH3. The second
group is formed by hydrides in the same row and includes SnH4, SbH3, T
eH2, and HI. The calculations employed the Schwinger multichannel meth
od with norm-conserving pseudopotentials [M.H.F. Bettega, L.G. Ferreir
a, and M.A.P. Lima, Phys. Rev. A 47, 1111 (1993)]. Our goal is to find
similarities and differences in the cross sections in these two group
