Applications of the Schwinger multichannel method with pseudopotentials to electron scattering from polyatomic molecules I. Elastic cross sections

This paper is a data basis which includes tables of integral, differential, and momentum transfer cross sections for elastic electron scattering from CF4, CCl4, SiCl4, SiBr4, SiI4, CH3F CH2F2, CHF3, CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, CHCl3, CF3Cl, CF2Cl2, CFCl3, CH3Br, CH3I, SiH3Cl, SiH3Br, SiH3I, GeH3Cl, GeH3Br, SnH3Br, C2H6, Si2H6. Ge2H6, B2H6, Ga2H6, H2O, H2S, H2Se, H2Te, trimethylarsine (TMAs), N2O, and O-3. These tables show our new results, along with some of our previously published cross sections, and can easily be compared to future experimental data and other new theoretical results. Our scattering amplitudes were calculated using the Schwinger multichannel method with norm-conserving pseudopotentials. Our results are in good agreement with other theoretical data and experimental results when available. All tables are available in the electronic version of the paper only [on the world wide web at http://www.sbf.if.usp.br/bjp/Vol31/Num1/.].
