Electron scattering with LiH molecule including a realistic dipole potential

Various electron scattering processes are examined theoretically for the strongly polar lithium hydride molecule. We have introduced a realistic dipole potential to calculate rotational cross sections of LiH upon electron impact. From the ionization threshold onwards total cross sections for elastic...

Description
Summary:Various electron scattering processes are examined theoretically for the strongly polar lithium hydride molecule. We have introduced a realistic dipole potential to calculate rotational cross sections of LiH upon electron impact. From the ionization threshold onwards total cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering are evaluated in the complex molecular potential, and total ionization cross sections are extracted by CSP- ic method developed in recent years. While most of the results are new some indirect comparisons are made to draw conclusions.
