【 摘 要 】

A detailed study of positron impact elastic scattering from methane and silane is carried out using a model potential consisting of static and polarization potentials. The static potential for the molecular target is obtained analytically by using accurate Gaussian molecular wavefunctions. The molecular orbitals are expressed as a linear combination of Gaussian atomic orbitals. Along with the analytically obtained static potential, a correlation polarization potential is also added to construct the model potential. Utilizing the model potential, the Schrödinger equation is solved using the partial wave phase shift analysis method, and the scattering amplitude is obtained in terms of the phase shifts. Thereafter, the differential, integrated and total cross sections are calculated. These cross-section results are compared with the previously reported measurements and theoretical calculations.
