摘要
Based on a difference converging method (DCM) and the general differential cross section (DCS) expression, an analytical formula and a converging protocol used to predict accurate values of experimentally unknown DCSs are proposed. The accurate DCSs, integral cross sections and momentum transfer cross sections of electron scattering from N-2, H2O, CH4, and CF3I molecules are studied using the new formula and a set of experimental DCSs. The calculated results show that not only all known experimental DCSs are excellently reproduced but also the unknown ones are correctly predicted. This study suggests a method as a reliable and economical theoretical alternative to obtain unknown DCSs of electron scattering from a polyatomic molecule.
