Molecular Spectroscopy by Electron Scattering

  • Chapter
Electron-Molecule Collisions

Part of the book series: Physics of Atoms and Molecules ((PAMO))

Abstract

The previous chapters have been primarily concerned with the theoretical description of electron—molecule scattering processes and with the appropriate comparisons between theory and experiment. The emphasis has tended to be on reaction mechanisms, rather than on the spectroscopy of the molecular states involved in the reactions. In the present chapter we take a different and complementary approach, and deal mainly with the use of electron—molecule collisions as a spectroscopic tool for investigating the electronic structure of simple molecules. We shall see that there is considerable information to be gained from electron scattering spectroscopy which is not available from optical experiments.
