We report results from an ab initio calculation of low-energy electron scattering by OCS molecules. We used the Schwinger multichannel method with pseudopotentials at the fixed-nuclei static-exchange approximation to calculate elastic integral, differential and momentum transfer cross sections in the energy range from 5 to 50 eV. We compare our results with available theoretical results and experimental data. Through the symmetry decomposition of our integral cross section and eigenphase sum analysis, we found structures in the cross sections that may be interpreted as shape resonances for ∑, ∏ and Δ symmetries. We compared the results for OCS with our previous results on the e––CS2 collision. In particular, we found a similar behaviour in the shape of the symmetry decomposed cross sections of OCS and of CS2 when, for the latter, we sum over the ‘g’ and ‘u’ contributions.

Abstract– The interactions of low-energy electrons (<20 eV) with D-ribose molecules, namely, electron scattering and dissociative attachment, are studied. The results of these studies showed that the fragmentation of D-ribose molecules occurs effectively even at an electron energy close to zero. as well as in the energy range 5.50–9.50 eV. In the total cross section of electron scattering by molecules, resonance features at energies of 5.00–9.00 eV in the region of formation of ionic fragments C3H4O2–, C2H3O2–, OH–, associated with the destruction of molecular heterocycles, were experimentally discovered for the first time. The correlation of the features observed in the scattering and dissociative electron attachment cross sections is analyzed.

Abstract This paper presents measurements of low energy electron scattering from pyridine. The low energy positron beamline at the Australian National University was used for these measurements, with a change in operational parameters allowing for the measurement of electron scattering processes. We have collected data for the low energy total cross section for electron scattering, as well as measurements of the differential cross sections (DCS) for electrons up to 3 eV impact energy. The operation of the beamline will be briefly outlined and data are compared to R-matrix and Schwinger multichannel theoretical calculations, as well as previous experimental data.

An investigation was made of the process of dissociative excitation of a HgCl radical in the B2Σ+1/2 state due to collisions of low-energy electrons with HgCl2 and CH3HgCl molecules. Using the most intense band of the B2Σ+1/2 – X2Σ+1/2 system of the HgCl radical at 557 nm that corresponds to the ν′ = 0 to ν″ = 22 transition, emission cross sections were measured in the electron energy range 1–100 eV. The threshold electron energy for the observation of the B2Σ+1/2 – X2Σ+1/2 band system has been determined to be 7.0 and 8.0 eV for HgCl2 and CH3HgCl molecules, respectively.

This paper deals with the problem of eigenfrequencies and eigenvectors for rings whose cross section may be decomposed in basic rectangular cross sections. The solution is derived from a solution of the in-plane eigenvalue problem for rectangular cross-section thick rings. A good agreement between theoretical results and experimental data is obtained.
