Scattering cross sections for 40 eV to 1 keV electrons colliding elastically with nitrogen and oxygen

Abstract

A phase-amplitude method has been used in deriving differential and total elastic scattering cross sections for electron collisions in atomic and diatomic molecular nitrogen and oxygen. The energy range considered has been from 1 keV to below 50 eV. Available theoretical and experimental cross sections for both atoms and molecules have been compared with the present calculations.
