Abstract
Electron scattering dynamics have been investigated experimentally for the energy range of 0.8–1000eV, using an absorption type time-of-flight apparatus. The elastic process has been also studied theoretically using the continuum multiple scattering method. The present cross section results are found to reasonably agree with the previous similar results by other groups in the energy region we overlap. Peaks have been observed at 2.5, 7.0, and ∼30 eV and attributed to the a 1g, t 1g, t 2g and e g resonances studied by Dehmer et al.
