A method is reported for a simple, yet reliable, calculation of electron inelastic mean free paths in condensed phase insulating and conducting materials, from the very low energies of hot electrons up to the high energies characteristic of…
We propose angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of aerosol particles as an alternative way to determine the electron mean free path of low energy electrons in solid and liquid materials. The mean free path is obtained from fits of…
A one parameter expression for the single ionization cross-section of atoms by electron impact is presented. Using this expression, the agreement obtained with available experimental data for 45 elements (from ionization threshold up to 200…
We calculate the electron elastic mean free path due to ionized impurity scattering in semiconductor quantum wires, using a scheme in which the screened ionized impurity potential and the electron screening self-consistently determine each…
Electron transport is of fundamental importance, and has application in a variety of fields. Different scattering mechanisms affect electron transport in solids. It is important to comprehensively understand these mechanisms and their…
Electron distributions produced by grazing impact of fast protons on Mg(0001), Cu(111), Ag(111) and Au(111) surfaces are investigated, focusing on the effects of the electronic band structure. The process is described within the…
The convergent close-coupling method is applied to the calculation of fully differential cross sections for ionization of atomic hydrogen by 15.6 eV electrons. We find that even at this low energy the method is able to yield predictive…
The effective potential of electron--electron interaction and the two-particle \textquotedblleft density--density\textquotedblright\ correlation function have been calculated for a simple semiinfinite metal making allowance for the…
We theoretically study the inelastic scattering rate and the carrier mean free path for energetic hot electrons in graphene, including both electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions. Taking account of optical phonon emission and…
The "standard" theory of a normal metal consists of an effective electron band which interacts with phonons and impurities. The effects due to the electron-phonon interaction are often delineated within the Migdal approximation; the…
In order to provide atomic data needed for astrophysical investigations, a set of electron-impact broadening parameters for ionized rare-earth element lines should be calculated. We are going to calculate the electron-impact broadening…
We report on the effects of electron collision and indirect ionization processes, occurring at photoexcitation and electron kinetic energies well below 30 eV on the photoemission spectra of liquid water. We show that the nascent…
Fe II emission lines are observed from nearly all classes of astronomical objects over a wide spectral range from the infrared to the ultraviolet. To meaningfully interpret these lines, reliable atomic data are necessary. In work presented…
Free electron approximation for electron states in poly($p$-phenylene vinylene) and other conjugated systems is developed. It provides simple and clear analytical expressions for energies of electron states and for wave functions. The…
For neutrinos of O(10keV) energies, their oscillation lengths are less than a few hundred meters, thereby suggesting the fascinating idea of oscillation experiments of small geometrical size. To help evaluating this idea we calculate the…
Electrons in condensed matter may transition into a variety of broken-symmetry phase states due to electron-electron interactions. Applying diverse mean-field approximations to the interaction term is arguably the simplest way to identify…
We study the electron-impact induced ionization of O$_{2}$ from threshold to 120 eV using the electron spectroscopy method. Our approach is simple in concept and embodies the ion source with a collision chamber and a mass spectrometer with…
We calculate the cross-section of ionization by free-electron impacts in high or moderate density plasmas. We show that the so-called ionization potential depression (IPD) strongly affects the magnitude of the cross-section in the…
Quantitative evaluations of the free energy of materials must take into account thermal and zero-point energy fluctuations. While these effects can easily be estimated within a harmonic approximation, corrections arising from the anharmonic…
The binding energy of an electron in a material is a fundamental characteristic, which determines a wealth of important chemical and physical properties. For metal-organic frameworks this quantity is hitherto unknown. We present a general…
