A semiempirical model for low energy electron–atom transport cross sections: The case of noble gases
Abstract
A semiempirical approach to describe low energy electron–atom transport cross sections of easy implementation and reproduction is presented. The heart of the model is an energy independent two-parameter potential that was adjusted to reproduce the accurate total cross sections for He, Ne, Ar and Kr, measured with a threshold photoelectron source technique from meV up to 20 eV. Once the potential was conceived, the model was validated by comparing the values obtained for the calculated scattering lengths and phase shifts with the respective quantities previously reported in the literature. We close the article by presenting the momentum transfer and viscosity cross sections. Good agreement is found when compared to the similar data obtained from swarm experiments, from phase shifts according to differential cross section measurements and to the cross sections reported by sophisticated ab initio relativistic many-body calculations. Tables for the phase shifts and cross sections are provided for direct use and applications.
