Transition probability functions for inelastic electron--electron scattering

Abstract

In this work, the transition matrix elements for inelastic electron--electron scattering are investigated. The angular part is given by spherical harmonics. For the weighted radial wave function overlap, analytic expressions are derived in the Slater-type and the hydrogen-like orbital models. These expressions are shown to be composed of a finite sum of polynomials and elementary trigonometric functions. Hence, they are easy to use, require little computation time, and are significantly more accurate than commonly used approximations.
