Polarization and exchange effects in elastic scattering of electron with atoms and ions

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/27/5/053403

Abstract Laser-induced electron diffraction (LIED), in which elastic scattering of the returning electron with the parent ion takes place, has been used to extract atomic potential and image molecular structures with sub-Å precision and exposure time of a few femtoseconds. So far, the polarization and exchange effects have not been taken into account in the theoretical calculation of differential cross section (DCS) for the laser-induced rescattering processes. However, the validity of this theoretical treatment has never been verified. In this work, we investigate the polarization and exchange effects on electron impact elastic scattering with rare gas atoms and ions. It is found that, while the exchange effect generally plays a more important role than the polarization effect in the elastic scattering process, the exchange effect is less important on electron-ion collisions than on electron-atom collisions, especially for scattering in backward direction. In addition, our calculations show that, for electron-atom collisions at incident energies above 50 eV, both the polarization and exchange effects can be safely neglected, while for electron-ion collisions, both the polarization and exchange potentials do not make substantial contributions to the DCS at incident energies above 20 eV and scattering angles larger than 90°. Our investigation confirms the validity of the current LIED method.
