The interaction of electrons and atomic sodium was studied by using the momentum space coupled-channel optical method at low-impact energies. Total scattering cross sections have been calculated, and negative-ion resonances have been located. The present calculation results are in good agreement with available experimental data and previous theoretical results. We have obtained resonance features at 4.166 and 4.502 eV and also found possible resonance structures near the ionization threshold in the total cross sections.
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.
