Abstract:
In this work, we present a theoretical study on elastic electron collisions from three isoelectronic free radicals (CNN, NCN, and CCO) in the low incident energy range. More specifically, calculated differential, integral, and momentum transfer cross sections are reported in the 1-30 eV energy range. Calculations are performed in the static-exchange and static-exchange-polarization levels. The iterative Schwinger variational method is used to solve the scattering equations. Our study reveals that the calculated cross sections for the three targets are significantly different at incident energies below 10 eV. Above that energy, a remarkable similarity among the calculated results is seen.

Accordingly, the structure of a trivalent radical lies between the geometries of carbocations and carbanions. An sp2-hybridized carbocation is trigonal planar, while an sp3-hybridized carbanion is trigonal pyramidal. Here, the difference in geometry is...
