摘要
Absolute double differential cross sections (DDCSs) of secondary electrons emitted from O-2 under the impact of 7 keV electrons were measured for different emission angles between 30 degrees and 145 degrees having energies from 1-600 eV. The forward-backward angular asymmetry was observed from angular distribution of the DDCS of secondary electrons. The asymmetry parameter, thus obtained from the DDCS of two complementary angles, showed a clear signature of interference oscillation. The Cohen-Fanomodel of Young type electron interference at a molecular double slit is found to provide a good fit to the observed oscillatory structures. The present observation is in qualitative agreement with the recent results obtained from photoionization.
