Elastic electron scattering fromCF3I

Abstract

Experimental results are reported for elastic differential and integral cross sections for electrons scattering from ${\mathrm{CF}}_{3}$I. These measurements were made at ten incident electron energies in the range 10--50 eV, with a scattered electron angular range of ${20}^{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}$--${135}^{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}}$. Where possible, comparison is made to the only other comprehensive experimental set of results available in the literature [M. Kitajima et al., J. Phys. B 35, 3257 (2002)] and to calculated cross sections from the Schwinger multichannel with pseudopotentials method [M. H. Bettega et al., J. Phys. B 36, 1263 (2003)]. In general, quite good agreement is found between the present results and those of the earlier studies.
