Abstract:
In this study, we investigate the low-energy electron (<20 eV) scattering cross sections for the linear ethyl amine and propyl amine using the R-matrix approach. A theoretical study is conducted, covering various cross sections such as elastic, symmetry-wise elastic, differential, momentum transfer, and electronic excitation. We obtained the ionization cross section using the CSP-ic and BEB methodologies. We unveil the intricate electron-amine interactions within these molecular systems. Additionally, our work extends to a comparative analysis among ethyl amine, propyl amine, and previously studied methyl amine systems. By comparing the obtained results, we discern subtle differences and similarities in the electron scattering behaviors across these structurally related amines. The findings presented herein shed light on fundamental electron-amine interactions, offering valuable insights for diverse fields ranging from chemical kinetics to astrophysics.
