Total Electron Scattering Cross Sections for Ar, N2, H2O and D2O
Abstract
Total electron scattering cross sections (σt) for Ar, N2, H2O and D2O are determined in the energy range between 7 and 500 eV using a linear electron transmission device. The thermal transpiration effect is considered. Results for Ar and N2 are in good agreement with those of previous experiments. The present results for H2O agree well with those of Brüche, Szmytkowski, Szmytkowski et al. and Zecca et al. However, some difference still remains among the recent results in the energy region below 15 eV. The σt for D2O is much the same as for H2O within the experimental uncertainty.
