Abstract
The vibrationally inelastic cross sections are computed for the ν1 and ν3 modes of CF4 using the quantum mechanical adiabatic nuclear vibrations approximation for the dynamics and using a nonempirical local interaction potential for electrons as projectiles. The results from electron excitation are compared with available, albeit indirect, experimental data. The calculations confirm the dominance of the ν3 mode at energies below the electronic excitation as the main channel for vibrational heating of CF4 by electron impact.
