A linear-algebraic approach to electron-molecule collision

Abstract
A linear-algebraic approach to the solution of the Schrodinger equation for low-energy electron scattering from molecules is presented. The method is based on an integral equations formulation of the single-centre, body-frame (fixed-nuclei approximation) scattering equations. Results in the static exchange approximation for e-H2, N2, LiH and CO2 are compared with those obtained with other methods.
