Abstract
Electron scattering from C 60 has been studied theoretically using a model interaction potential containing static-exchange and local polarization terms. The partial cross-sections for scattering in the a g and t 1u symmetries at collision energies from 0.001 to 2.0 eV are presented. In this energy range scattering in the a g symmetry dominates at energies below ∼0.03 eV due to a near-threshold virtual state in the s-wave scattering. The results from this model suggest that low energy electron attachment in e–C 60 scattering may occur through s-wave scattering which is enhanced by the presence of a virtual state.
