CALCULATED CROSS SECTIONS FOR ATOMIC DISPLACEMENTS PRODUCED BY ELECTRONS IN THE 1.03-3.0 MEV ENERGY RANGE.

Abstract

In deriving atomic displacement threshold energies from electron bombardment data it is necessary to employ numerical values of the electron scattering cross section calculated over a range of electron energies. For relativistic energies the MottRutherford cross-section formula may be used. A computer program was developed to evaluate this formula for any value of atomic number and electron energy. The program is described and numerical values presented for atomic numbers 23, 29, 45, 46, 73, 74, 77, 78, and 79; electron energies between 1.0-3.0 MeV; and appropriate assumed threshold values.
