Electron elastic scattering and low-frequency bremsstrahlung on A@$C_{60}$: A model static approximation

Electron elastic-scattering phase shifts and cross sections along with the differential and total cross sections and polarization of low-frequency bremsstrahlung upon low-energy electron collision with endohedral fullerenes $A$@C$_{60}$ are theoretically scrutinized versus the nature, size and spin of the encapsulated atom $A$. The case-study-atoms $A$ are N, Ar, Cr, Mn, Mo, Tc, Xe, Ba, and Eu. They are thoughtfully picked out of different rows of the periodic table. The study is performed in the framework of a model static approximation. There, both the encapsulated atom $A$ and C$_{60}$ cage are regarded as non-polarizable targets. The C$_{60}$ cage is modeled by an attractive spherical annular potential well. The study provides the most complete initial understanding of how the processes of interest might evolve upon electron collision with various $A$@C$_{60}$. Calculated results identify the most interesting and/or useful future measurements or more rigorous calculations to perform.
