Abstract
A model complex optical potential (composed of static, exchange, polar ization and absorption terms) is employed to calculate the total (elas tic and inelastic) electron-atom scattering cross sections from the co rresponding atomic wave function at the Hartree-Fock level. The total cross sections (TCS) for electron scattering by their corresponding mo lecules (C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8 and C4H8) are firstly obtained b y the use of the additivity rule over an incident energy range of 10-1 000 eV. The qualitative molecular results are compared with experiment al data and other calculations wherever available, good agreement is o btained in intermediate- and high-energy region.
