Abstract
Scattering dynamics of dichlorine monoxide (Cl2O) molecule by electron impact is investigated as a function of electron energy and scattering angle. Electron impact total cross sections for Cl2O over an extensive range of impact energies from 0.1 to 2000eV are reported in this article. Below the ionization threshold of the target, the ab initio R-matrix method and above this incident energy spherical complex optical potential formalism are used for cross section calculation. The total cross section obtained from both theories merges smoothly at the overlapping energy. The resonances obtained using DZP basis sets are located at 1.883, 3.592, 5.205 and 7.326, 8.206, 8.301, 8.452, 9.369eV and that with 6-31G* basis sets are identified at 1.944, 3.566, 5.183, 5.261, 5.658, 8.738 and 9.187eV with the possibility of negative ions formation. This is the first attempt to calculate the differential, and momentum transfer cross sections for Cl2O molecule.
