Elastic and inelastic scattering of low-energy electrons from gas-phase $$\hbox {C}_{\mathbf {60}}$$: elastic scattering angular distributions and coexisting solid-state features revisited

Resonance signatures in DCS and spin polarization for positron scattering with C60 and rare gas endohedrals

“…On the other hand, the electron spin polarizations have significant magnitude for both the C 60 and rare gas endohedrals, which may have a possibility of experimental measurement. Low energy electron scattering from gas-phase C 60 is reported recently in a crossed-beam experimental measurement by Tanaka et al [57]. In this work [57], it is shown that the theoretical results for e-C 60 elastic DCSs within the model potential [33] and ab initio frameworks [32,49] agree well with the experimental data.…”

An Investigation of the Resonant and Non-Resonant Angular Time Delay of e-C60 Elastic Scattering

“…To further demonstrate the efficiency of ASW potential, DCS was plotted (Figure 2) for energies (2 eV, 4 eV, 7 eV, and 10 eV), and the results were compared with ab initio theoretical [63,64] and experimental results [17]. The experimental results of Tanaka et al [17] were only available for the incident energies (4 eV, 7 eV, and 10 eV). The DCS showed the number of diffraction-type minima, which increased as the scattering energy was increased.…”

“…Endohedral fullerenes are C 60 molecules with atoms/ions/molecules trapped inside them and are represented by A@C 60 , where A denotes the encaged species. The dynamics of fullerenes and their endohedral compounds are explored using collision studies both in theory and experiment [16][17][18][19]. Apart from their fundamental application, fullerenes and their endohedrals have been proposed to be useful in trending technologies.…”

“…With regards to these stupendous applications, experimental and theoretical studies on fullerenes and their derivatives were carried out on large scales. Some of the notable experimental works on scattering studies from C 60 include low-energy elastic e-C 60 scattering performed by Tanaka et al [17], intermediate-energy elastic scattering performed by Hargreaves et al [33], and high-energy collision studies on fullerene performed by Caldwell et al [34].…”

Molecular collisions, photoionization and dynamics: honouring Professor Vincent McKoy

“…A detailed study on electron impact elastic scattering from CH + 4 , NH + 3 , H 2 O + , NH + 4 and H 3 O + molecular ions is reported for the first time by using an optical model potential method [11]. Elastic and inelastic scattering of lowenergy electrons from gas-phase C 60 : elastic scattering angular distributions and coexisting solid-state features have been revisited by Tanaka et al [12] while Cl − kinetic-energy release distributions from chlorobenzene and related molecules in electron transfer experiments were presented by Kumar et al [13]. A combined experimental and theoretical study of helium adsorption on cationic hexaphenylbenzene (HPB), a propeller-shaped molecule, was investigated [14], and molecular synthesis in ices triggered by dissociative electron attachment to carbon monoxide was presented by Schmidt et al [15].…”
