Segment 4C: Collisions We differentiate between elastic and inelastic collisions ...

Physicists recognize two distinct types of collisions: “elastic” and “inelastic.” They have technical definitions, but we won’t go too far wrong if we think of an elastic collision as ...

We report the integral cross sections per scatterer (i.e. elastic collision, phonon excitations, vibrational excitations, electronic excitations and ionization) for 1-100 eV electron scattering in an ...
