We have made a study of the total ionization cross sections of hydrocarbon molecules (allene, propane) due to electron impact for single ionization. Electron impact ionization cross sections (EIICS) have been calculated from threshold ionization energy to high energy (10 MeV). Along with EIICS calculation the values of collisional parameters are also calculated. The theoretical model, developed by Khare, has been modified to calculate the electron impact ionization cross section for molecules and atoms. The predicted EIICS of allene and propane molecules are compared with other theoretical and experimental data. Present model prevail a high degree of goodness of cross sections to the experimental data. Adequate comparisons of collisional parameter have been made with other available experimental values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
