Recent progress in low-energy electron elastic-collisions with multi-electron atoms and fullerene molecules
Abstract
We briefly review recent applications of the Regge pole analysis to low-energy E less than/equal to 10.0 eV electron elastic collisions with large multi-electron atoms and fullerene molecules. We then conclude with a demonstration of the sensitivity of the Regge pole-calculated Ramsauer-Townsend minima and shape resonances to the electronic structure and dynamics of the Bk and Cf actinide atoms, and their first time ever use as novel and rigorous validation of the recent experimental observation that identified Cf as a transitional element in the actinide series (A. M\"uller, et al., Nat. Commun. 12, 948 (2021))
