Absolute Ionization Cross Sections of Hydrogen Chloride Gaseous Molecule by Electron Impact

Abstract

Due to abundant applications of ionization cross sections of gaseous atoms and molecules in various fields of applied sciences, like plasma processes, vacuum technology, fusion reactors, atmospheric sciences, etc. it’s desirable to calculate absolute ionization cross-sections of various atoms and molecules. In this literature, we have calculated the partial and absolute total ionization cross sections of HCl gas by electron impact ionization from threshold energy to 10,000 eV. To the best of our knowledge, there are no available data for partial ionization cross sections to compare the results. We compare our results of absolute total ionization cross sections with suitable available data and its find in good agreements from threshold to high incident electron energies.
