Atomic-Molecular Ionization by Electron Scattering
Atomic-Molecular Ionization by Electron Scattering
A comprehensive and up-to-date text in the field of electron scattering and ionization, covering fundamentals, experimental background, quantum scattering theories and applications. Electron impact ionization of atoms and molecules in ground/metastable states is discussed comprehensively. The text covers electron scattering phenomena for diatomic and common molecules, polyatomic molecules and radicals including hydro-carbons, fluoro-carbons and other larger molecules together with relevant radical species in detail. Applications of electron impact ionization and excitation in gaseous or plasma and condensed matter is discussed in a separate chapter. Recent advances in the field of electron molecule scattering and ionization for polyatomic molecules is covered extensively.
- Integrates fundamental concepts and experimental aspects of atomic-molecular ionization
- Provides a comprehensive discussion of atomic/molecular targets and metastable species
- Presents data compilation and discussion on more than twenty atoms and over eighty-five small and large molecules
- Includes a separate chapter highlighting applications of electron scattering
