FEW CENTRE SCATTERING CALCULATIONS. I. PHYSICAL FORMULATIONS OF VARIATIONAL TREATMENTS OF ELECTRONIC EXCITATION OF FEW-CENTRE MOLECULES BY SLOW ELECTRON SCATTERING
Abstract
IT IS OBSERVED THAT AT PRESENT THERE ARE NO THEORETICAL METHODS OF CALCULATING CROSS SECTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC EXCITATION OF SMALL MOLECULES BY SLOW ELECTRONS UNLESS THE MOLECULE IS DIATOMIC OR APPROXIMATELY SPHERICAL. A number of general procedure suitable for use with the Hulthens or Kohn Variational Methods and for few-centre molecules are formulated, and a new expansion theor m is derived. It is concluded that the procedure referred to as the Static Centroidal is the most promising of those examined. (Author)
