Mhf. Bettega et al., STATIC-EXCHANGE CROSS-SECTIONS FOR ELECTRON-COLLISIONS WITH B2H6, C2H6, SI2H6, AND GE2H6, EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL D, 1(3), 1998, pp. 291-296
We report integral and differential cross sections from 5-30 eV for el
astic scattering of electrons by X2H6 (X=B, C, Si, Ge) obtained using
the Schwinger Multichannel Method with Pseudopotentials [M.K.F. Betteg
a, L.G. Ferreira, M.A.P. Lima, Phys. Rev. A 47, 1111 (1993)]. We compa
re our results with available experimental data and other theoretical
results, and also with previous results for XH4 (X=C, Si, Ge) [M.H.F.
Bettega, A.P.P. Natalense, M.A.P. Lime, L.G. Ferreira, J. Chem. Phys.
103, 10566 (1995)]. To our knowledge this is the first ab initio calcu
lation of the B2H6 and Ge2H5 electron scattering cross sections.
