Dh. Madison et al., 2ND-ORDER DISTORTED-WAVE CALCULATION FOR ELECTRON LITHIUM SCATTERING, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 27(9), 1994, pp. 1807-1821
We have performed second-order distorted-wave calculations for electro
n-impact elastic scattering, 2p excitation and 3s excitation of lithiu
m. The second-order results are used to study the importance of polari
zation, absorption, exchange scattering and continuum channels. These
results are compared with experimental measurements and other theoreti
cal calculations.
