Mean Free Paths and Cross Sections for Electron Scattering from Liquid Water

Electron collision with liquid water is theoretically investigated and reported in this article. The range of projectile energy considered is 10–5000 eV, covering all major channels, viz., ionization, inelastic, elastic, and total scattering. The liquid phase electron charge density and static potential are generated and used in the calculation under a spherical complex optical potential formalism to achieve the goals. For the ionization...
