Binary-encounter-dipole model for electron-impact ionization Yong-Ki Kim National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899

M. Eugene Rudd Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588-0111 (Received 6 May 1994) A theoretical model, which is free of adjustable or fitted parameters, for calculating electronimpact ionization cross sections for atoms and molecules is presented. This model combines the binary-encounter theory with the dipole interaction of the Bethe theory for fast incident electrons. The ratios of the contributions from distant and close collisions and interference between the direct and exchange terms are determined by using the asymptotic behaviors predicted by the Bethe theory for ionization and for stopping cross sections. Our model prescribes procedures to calculate the singly differential cross section (energy distribution) for each subshell using the binding energy, average kinetic energy, and the differential dipole oscillator strengths for that subshell. Then the singly differential cross section is integrated over the ejected electron energy to obtain the total ionization cross section. The resulting total ionization cross section near the threshold is proportional to the excess energy of the projectile electron. We found that this model yields total ionization cross sections for a variety of atoms and molecules from threshold to several keV which are in good agreement (- 10% or better on average) with known experimental results. The energy distributions also exhibit the expected shapes and magnitudes. We offer a simpler version of the model that can be used when differential oscillator strengths are not known. For the ionization of ions with an openshell configuration, we found that a minor modification of our theory greatly improves agreement with experiment. PACS number(s): 34.80.Dp, 34.80.Gs, 34.80.K~

I. INTRODUCTION

Electron-impact ionization cross sections are widely used in applications such as the modeling of fusion plasmas in tokamaks, modeling of radiation effects for both materials and medical research, and aeronomy, as well as in basic research in astrophysics, atomic, molecular, and plasma physics. Although the method we present in this article-to be referred to as the binary-encounterdipole (BED) model-is equally applicable to ionization of atoms and molecules, we shall hereafter refer to the targets as "atoms" for brevity. Ionization cross sections a t all energies of incident particles and ejected electrons are needed to follow the history of an incident particle and its products for all ranges of energy transferred in individual collisions. Proper understanding of the role of ejected electrons is crucial because a large number of them, mostly slow electrons, are generated in the course of an energetic incident particle penetrating through matter. These electrons in turn interact with other targets until the electrons are thermalized. Electron-atom collisions can be divided into two broad types: soft or distant collisions with large impact parameters and hard or close collisions with small impact parameters. The Mott theory [I], which describes the collision of two free electrons, accounts for hard collisions well but not soft collisions [2]. Bethe [3] has shown that soft collisions take place essentially through the dipole

interaction between the incident particle and the target electron. The symmetric form of the binary-encounter theory described by Vriens [4], which is meant for electron-impact ionization, augments the Mott formula by assigning a velocity or momentum distribution to a target electron instead of a wave function: but still lacks the dipole contribution and hence leads to an incorrect cross section when the dipole interaction dominates a t high incident energies. In contrast, contributions fiom hard collisions dominate a t lower incident energies. There have been many attempts to combine the dipole contribution with either the Rutherford or Mott cross section to derive the "correct" ionization cross sections [5,6], but these attempts have all had only limited success because they failed to find the correct mixing ratio between the expressions for the soft and hard collisions. In addition, since the scattered and ejected electrons are indistinguishable after an ionizing collision, electron exchange effect must be included, as is the case for the Mott, and Vriens formulas. Other approaches to represent ionization cross sections in compact, analytic forms [2,7-101 require parameters that must be fitted to some theoretical or experimental ionization cross sections. The BED model uses the relation between the asymptotic (i.e., high incident energy) cross sections for ionization and for stopping (defined later) to deduce the mixing ratios not only between the soft and hard collisions but also for the electron exchange term. The BED

model, however, does not depend on any empirical or fitted parameters, though accurate experimental or theoretical data on binding energies and photoionization cross sections are needed. An important ingredient of the BED model is the differential dipole oscillator strength for ionization, which can be derived from either theoretical or experimental photoionization cross sections. The BED model constructs ionization cross sections subshell by subshell, and in principle can be used to construct ionization cross sections for any target atom or molecule as long as cor-, responding differential oscillator strengths for ionization are known. When high accuracy (10% or better) is not required, differential oscillator strengths calculated from Hartree-Fock or similar wave functions are sufficient. We also have included a simpler version of the BED model, to be referred to as the binary-encounter-Bethe (BEB) model, which may be used when the required differential oscillator strengths are not available. We present a brief outline of the underlying theory in Sec. 11, our BED model in Sec. 111, the BEB model in Sec. IV, discussions of the total ionization cross section in Sec. V, modification of the theory for ion targets in Sec. VI, and comparisons of our results with experiments in Sec. VII. Our conclusions are presented in Sec. VIII. Often applications of ionization cross sections require total ionization cross sections only. In such cases, the total ionization cross sections calculated from the present theory can be recast into a simpler function of the incident electron energy. This simpler form is discussed in the Appendix. 11. RUTHERFORD, MOTT, AND BINARY-ENCOUNTER CROSS SECTIONS

In this nonrelativistic formula, T is the kinetic energy of the incident electron, and T - W is the kinetic energy of the scattered electron. The Mott cross section above is given in the form of a singly differential cross section (SDCS), or the energy distribution of the ejected electron. Because the scattered and ejected electrons are indistinguishable, it is customary to call the faster one of the two (after a collision) the primary electron and the slower one the secondary electron. The first term in the square brackets of Eq. (3) is the direct collision term, the second term represents the interference between the direct and exchange collision terms, and the third term is the exchange collision term. Note that the Mott cross section is symmetric in the kinetic energies of the secondary electron, W , and the primary electron, T - W, as it should be. Both the Rutherford and the Mott cross sections, however, diverge when W + 0 or when W + T in the case of electron-electron collision. Of course, for a real atom, the cross section for ejecting an electron with W = 0 is finite, and W cannot be equal to T because the binding energy must be overcome for a bound electron to be ejected. With these restrictions in mind, one can slightly modify the Rutherford and Mott cross sections by replacing W by the energy transfer

where B is the binding energy of the ejected electron. With this substitution, the modified Rutherford cross section for a subshell becomes

A. Rutherford cross section

The collision of a particle with charge Z l e with a free electron at rest is described by the Rutherford cross section [ l l ] :

where we have included the number of bound electrons, N , in the subshell. Similarly, the modified Mott cross section for a subshell is, after replacing W by E and T by T + B in the square brackets of Eq. (3), given by

where W is the kinetic energy of the ejected electron, a,-, is the Bohr radius (= 5.29 x lo-'' m), R is the Rydberg energy (= 13.6 eV), and T is the reduced kinetic energy defined by

with the relative speed v and the electron mass m regardless of the actual mass of the projectile. For incident electrons, T is the nonrelativistic kinetic energy.

Note that, while the original Mott cross section, Eq. (3), is an exact solution for the collision of two free electrons, the modified Mott cross section, Eq. (6), is an approximation for a bound target electron. In fact, Eq. (6) becomes a good approximation for ejecting a fast electron only when W >> B.

B. Mott cross section C. Binary-encounter cross section

Mott generalized the Rutherford cross section for the collision of two electrons [1,11] to take account of exchange:

An extension of the Mott cross section to describe the ionization of a bound electron is to assign a velocity or

momentum distribution to the target electron to represent the orbital motion of the bound electron. Although one can regard the Mott cross section itself as a formula that describes a binary collision, i.e., a billiard-ball-like collision between two free electrons, it is more common in a binary-encounter theory to associate some kind of momentum or velocity distribution with the target particle. Such a momentum distribution is often derived from the wave function for the target electron. The symmetric form (i.e., for the primary and secondary electrons) of the binary-encounter theory [4] differs from the Mott cross section in that it has an extra term and introduces the average kinetic energy U:

In Eq. (7),

where $is the momentum operator of the electrons in a subshell. At this point, it is convenient to express cross sections in terms of energy variables in units of the binding energy B of the electrons in a subshell:

MODEL Both the Mott and the binary-encounter cross sections for electron-impact ionization can be recast as a series:

+

The term containing w 1 represents the secondary electrons ejected from the target during the collision while the term containing t - w describes the scattered primary electrons which have lost energy. Both types of electrons are detected in experiment, and they are indistinguishable. As was mentioned earlier, the n = 1term in Eq. (15) represents interference between the primary and secondary electrons, and the n = 2 term arises from close collisions. The n = 3 term accounts for the broadening of the energy distribution due to the intrinsic momentum distribution of a bound electron being ionized. The Mott cross section corresponds to the following choice of F, ( t ):

and the binary-encounter cross section is reproduced by choosing

The total ionization cross section cr,, which is obtained by integrating the SDCS [Eq. (15)] from w = 0 tjo (t - 1)/2, reduces to a simple expression

One can see that Eq. (19) with Eq. (16) or (17) leads to the asymptotic (t >> 1) behavior u, -+ t-l, which does not agree with the predictions of the Bethe theory nor with experiment. An example of this failure is shown in Sec. VIID. A more realistic asymptotic t dependence is predicted by the Bethe theory [3], viz., t-'lnt, which arises fiom the dipole interaction. To correct this deficiency, we consider the asymptotic case first. In the asymptotic region t >> w, and hence the (t - w ) - ~terms may be ignored, i.e..

Similarly, the binary-encounter cross section, Eq. (7), can be rewritten as

There is no function Fl(t) that will yield a t-l l n t dependence in both Eqs. (30) and (31). Hence, we choose Fl to make the first term in both equations fall off faster than t-l l n t so as to become asymptotically negligible in both equations. The simplest way to accomplish this is to choose Fl cc t P 2 . This is consistent with the t dependence of Fl in the Mott and the binary-encounter cross sections provided that we make Fl negative, i.e., make the interference term negative. If we now choose Fz cc t-' as in the Mott and the binary-encounter cross sections, the second term in Eq. (30) becomes negligible but the second term in Eq. (31) matches the t-l l n t dependence in the remainder of that equation. With these choices for Fl and F2, the third term dominates in the asymptotic equation for a;, Eq. (30), while the second and the third terms dominate in the a s y m p totic equation for asti, Eq. (31). The asymptotic expression for the SDCS in the Bethe theory [14] is da dw

The upper limits of the integration for G and H have been extended to cc in the anticipation that f3(w) diminishes rapidly enough as w + cc such that the asymptotic part of f3(w) does not contribute to the asymptotic t dependence in Eqs. (23) and (25). This requires that f3(w) + w - with ~ m > 2 for w >> 1. The corresponding asymptotic cross sections derived by Bethe using the first Born approximation are [3,12]

and

On the right-hand side (RHS) of Eq. (29), we have used the asymptotic form of the Bethe cross section for ost, which (unlike asti) includes excitations to both discrete and continuum states. We made this approximation for two reasons. The first is that the coefficient of the t-l In t term for ionization not only is difficult to calculate but will also be different from one atom to another. The second reason is that a t high incident energy, ionizing collisions account for 80% or more of ast [13], and hence using the asymptotic dependence of a s k on the RHS of Eq. (29) is a simple yet effective approximation. Matching Eqs. (23) and (25) with Eqs. (27) and (29) leads to Fllnt+F2+F3G=

Earlier, we mentioned that f3(w) for w >> 1 should diminish as w - with ~ m > 2 so that the upper limits in Eqs. (24) and (26) can be extended to cc. This requirement is satisfied by our choice of f3(w) since df l d w diminishes in the asymptotic region as w - where ~ m 2 3.5 ~51.

Finally, w~ combine our choice for F, and f s with the symmetric binary-encounter cross section, Eq (I:), and

What we have done so far is basically to let the F3f 3 term in Eq. (15) represent the dipole interaction. The Bethe theory normally is not used in a symmetric form, i.e., it does not have the exchange and interference terms dff(W,T ) dW B(t

According to the binary-encounter theory, the extra terms in the denominators of Eqs. (43)-u and I-represent the acceleration of the incident electron due to the nuclear attraction. These extra terms are essential in producing reliable ionization cross sections for low incident energies. Now we look a t the threshold behavior of tmheSDCS, i.e., the dependence as t -+ 1. Let t = 1 + A t with At << 1. Then, our choice of Fn and f n ( w ) leads to [from Eq. (44)] a,(l

Although the Wannier theory [16] predicts ai cc ( A t ) l . l Z 7 when At is extremely small, Eq. (45) represents a more macroscopic threshold behavior [17]. To use the BED model, values of B, U ,N , and the differential oscillator strengths, df ldw, are needed for each

The average kinetic energy U needed in the BED model is strictly a theoretical quantity, but can easily be obtained from wave function codes such as those developed by Froese-Fischer [18]. For oneelectron atoms, the virial theorem can be used to deduce IT from the known binding energy, i.e., U = B. However, one should not assume the virial theorem to hold for each subshell in atoms and molecules with complicated electronic structures. The virial theorem holds only between the total potential energy and the total kinetic energy. Binding and kinetic energies for subshells of many atoms and molecules are listed in Ref. [19]. Values of U for H, He, H Z , and Ne are included in Table I. Differential oscillator strengths are harder to get, although total and partial values of df/dw for many atoms and molecules may be found in the literature. Good

sources are the book by Berkowitz 1201 and the review article by Gallagher et a1. [21], from which one can find original references. For convenience, we have listed values of N; and M! for H, He, Ne, and Hz in Table I and also presented values of df /d(E/B), where E is the photon energy, in the form of simple polynomials of B I E . The differential oscillator strength for H is a fit to the exact theoretical values, and the others are fits to the experimental values compiled and recommended by Berkowitz [20]. We emphasize that we have used experimental df ldw when they are more reliable than calculated ones, particularly near the threshold. Although any form of theoretical dfldw can be used, analytic fits are certainly more convenient to use than numerical tables or graphs. IV. BINARY-ENCOUNTER-BETHE (BEB) MODEL

Although the BED model is substantially simpler to use than most ab initio theories for electron-impact ionization, it is often difficult to get the differential oscillator strengths, particularly subshell by subshell. For such cases, we offer a simplified version, to be referred to as the binary-encounter-Bethe (BEB) model, in which a simple function is used for the f3(w) in Eq. (20). Sometimes, the values of N; and/or M,? for an atom are known but not the details of the corresponding df ldw, because N; and M,? can be determined from appropriate sum rules without df ldw if accurate oscillator strengths for discrete excitations are known [22]. In general, there is no simple relationship between N; and M,? and hence knowing N; does not automatically lead to the value of M,? unless the details of dfldw are also known. In the BEB model, we assume a simple form of df ldw, which can be integrated to obtain N; and M,?. However, these quantities can be replaced by better values if they are known. The BEB model even offers help when nothing is known about N;, M,?, and df ldw, though the reliability of resulting cross sections may suffer in this case. As will be shown in Sec. VII, differential oscillator strengths for H, He, and Hz have simple shapes (except for resonances which are not important for our purpose) which can be represented by inverse powers of w 1, starting from (w I)-', that is,

+

+

where b is a constant. If we retain only the first term, then

3959

Mf = RNiI2B and Q = N,/N.

(49)

Note that the specific relationship between N; and M,? (and Q) above is a result of choosing df ldw to have the special form in Eq. (46). Equations (49) are not expected to hold for all subshells in targets with complicated shell structures. After substituting Eqs. (46) (first term only) and (47) into Eq. (35), we have

which puts us back to the form of the binary-encounter cross section, Eq. (14), except that 4u/3 is now replaced by Q. This similarity between Eq. (50) and the binaryencounter theory is probably the reason for the apparent success in the early days of the binary-encounter and other related classical theories (e.g., by Gryzinski [23]) on these targets with simple shell structures. Since f3 will always be used with F3 as a product [see Eq. (34)], one can transfer Q in Eq. (50) to F3to simplify our notation for f3: Qlnt F3(t) = and f3(w) = 1/(w I ) ~ .(51) t ' With Eqs.

Equations (54) are most useful to estimate the total ionization cross section (TICS) when only the value of M? (and thus Q = 2BM,?/NR) is known. As a further approximation if M,? is not available, we can set Q = 1. This is a useful approximation that will still lead to ionization cross sections of correct orders of magnitude when nothing is known about differential or total dipole oscillator strengths. V.

and Niis defined by Eq. (39). Note that the above cross section is for a given subshell, and these cross sections must be summed over all subshells that contribute to ionization. In practice, only the valence shell and a few subshells below it will make significant contributions to u;. Equation (55) has the same asymptotic form as the Bethe theory [Eq. (27)] since from Eqs. (28) and (56) D(m)= (B/RN)M,?. The advantages of the BED formula for u; over the Bethe theory-or other variations of the Bethe theory-are that the BED formula (a) is designed to approach the low t region with an appropriate threshold behavior, (b) includes the interference term between the direct and exchange interactions, which manifests itself as the l n t / ( t 1) term, and (c) leads to a reduction in the dipole contribution D ( t ) as t decreases. In Fig. 1, we compare the ui for H deduced from the BED model with other theories as well as the experimental a; measured by Shah et al. [24]. Note that the BED model does not contain any empirical or adjustable parameters. The TICS'S based on the BED model for some simple atoms also agree well (f10% or better in most cases) with available accurate measurements [see Sec. VII]. The TICS based on the BEB model is given by

where Q is defined by Eq. (28).

We chose our F, ( t ) to have t u 1 in the denominator while the Mott and Bethe cross sections have only t. Our choice originated from the symmetric form of the binaryencounter theory [25] in which the incident electron was assumed to gain a kinetic energy of U + B before the collision to make it equivalent to the target electron, which has a potential energy of -1 U BI. This denominator, t + u + l , reduces the cross section, which is the desired effect since most collision theories overestimate ionization cross sections near the peak. As is shown later, much of the success of our model for neutral targets ., can be attributed to this denominator. The symmetric binary-encounter theory and the BED model do not distinguish between collisions with neutral atoms and those with ions, as far as the incident electron is concerned, although the target electron description differs through U, B, and df ldw. The correct theory should, however, also alter the description of the incident electron since the long-range Coulomb force between the incident electron and a target ion should distort the wave function of the incident electron for its entire path, while such distortion should occur only in the vicinity of a neutral target. The Coulomb-Born and the distorted-wave Born approximations are examples in which such distortions are included. Qualitatively, the charge density of the incident electron is attracted toward the target ion, thus increasing the overlap between the charge densities of the incident and target electrons. This results in increased cross sections. Indeed, we found the BED cross sections with t + u + I in the denominator for the ionization of He+ and Liz+ are too low compared to reliable experiments [26-291 as is shown later. Instead, we found that replacing t + u + 1 in Eqs. (43) and (54) with t + 1 resulted in better agreements with experiment. At this point, we cannot prove that t + 1 is the correct denominator for ions. Furthermore, a preliminary application of the BED model to Lit slightly favors the use of t + u + 1 in the denominator. Hence we tentatively propose to use, for target ions with open-shell valence electrons,

Actually, the differential dipole oscillator strength in units of appropriate binding energies, df / d ( E / B ) , for one-electron ions is independent of the nuclear charge 2. The coefficients for the hydrogen atom in Table I may also be used for this universal df/d(E/B) in powers of B / E . This is a fit to the exact theoretical expression for the photoionization of a I s electron in a hydrogenic ion.

The data in Table I can be used to calculate ionization cross sections using Eqs. (58). For all one-electron ions [22], M? = 0.2834/Z2 and hence Q = 0.5668. With these results, we have a simple, universal formula for the ionization of one-electron ions based on the BEB model:

Because of the complexity of this scaling, one cannot simply add the dipole contribution t o the Rutherford (or the Mott) cross section to 'Lsynthesize" SDCS. Nevertheless, the Platzman plot provides many useful clues to the reliability of experimental as well as theoretical du/dW, particularly when reliable values of differential oscillator strengths are known [31]. The success of the BED model is achieved by fixing this "scaling" between different components of the ionization cross section through Eqs. (43). We present an example of the Platzman plot for the ionization of the hydrogen atom by 60-eV electrons in Fig. 2. Experimental electron-impact data by Shyn [32] are presented in Fig. 2(a) and the corresponding (exact) differential oscillator strength of hydrogen in Fig. 2(b). We can see immediately that the shapes of the two curves are very similar, indicating that dipole contribu-

Before we compare the BED and BEB cross sections with available experimental data, we discuss a simple and powerful way to graphically compare theoretical and experimental results &st proposed by Platzman to graphically represent SDCS's [2,30]. In his method, which we shall refer t o as the Platzman plot, the ratio Y of da(W, T ) / d W to the Rutherford cross section, Eq. (5) with N and Z1 equal to 1, is plotted as a function of the inverse energy transfer R / E :

Y=

du(W,T) -T E2 dW h a : R2'

where du/dW can either be experimental or theoretical. If the target is a multishell atom, the lowest binding energy is used to define E in Eq. (62). Since da(W,T)/dW = d o ( E , T ) / d E ,

In other words, the area under the Platzman plot is proportional to the TICS. This fact can be used to normalize du/dW because u; is often known with a better accuracy than du/dW from independent measurements. Similarly to the physical interpretation of the dipole oscillator strength, Y can be interpreted as the effective number of target electrons participating in an ionizing collision. In this way, we expect that the value of Y will approach the number of valence electrons as W >> B provided that the valence shell contributions dominate the TICS as is the case in most atoms and molecules. For slow secondary electrons, the shape of the Platzman plot is expected to follow the shape of the differential oscillator strengths (multiplied by the energy transfer) "scaled" by some function of t and superposed on the contributions &om close collisions, i.e., the Rutherford cross sec-

tions are prominent a t the incident energy of T = 60 eV. The Mott cross section [Eq. (6)] is marked "Mott," while the Rutherford cross section [Eq. (5)] is marked "Ruth." To match the accurate TICS measured by Shah et al. [24], however, the data by Shyn have been renormalized to the height shown in Fig. 2(a). The area under Shyn's data between the threshold ( R I E = 1) and the upper limit of the secondary electron energy ( R I E = 0.370) reproduces the electron-impact ui measured by Shah et al. [24], u;(expt.) = 6.16 x lo-" m2. The BED model leads to ui(BED) = 6.47 x10-21 m2, while the BEB result is a;(BEB) = 6.12 x10-'l m2 for Q = 0.5668 and 6.60 m2 for Q = 1. Note that it is very simple to extrapolate the electronimpact data for slow secondary electrons, W < 5 eV, using the shape of the dipole contribution in Fig. 2(b). This possibility is important because most experimental data on secondary electrons are either unavailable or unreliable at W < 5 eV. Figure 2 clearly demonstrates the power of the Platzman plot in (a) checking the reliability of experimental cross sections, (b) normalizing the overall magnitude, and (c) extrapolating d u l d W to values of W inaccessible to experiments, as long as the dipole contribution is discernible. A. Hydrogen atom

In Fig. 1, the BEB cross section (short-dashed line) nearly coincides with the experimental ui [24] while the BED cross section (solid line) is slightly higher than the experiment, though still within the experimental error limits. It is well known that the plane-wave Born cross section overestimates the peak cross section by about 65% [33]. The long-dashed line is the distorted-wave Born cross section that includes electron exchange correction by Younger [34]. The medium-dashed line is the cross section based on Gryzinski's classical theory [23]. Although the BEB cross section for the total ionization appears to agree better with the experiment than the BED cross section, Fig. 2(a) indicates that the shape of the experimental SDCS's by Shyn [32] is in better agreement with the shape of the BED model (solid line) than that of the BEB model (short-dashed line). The importance of using the correct dfldw will become more apparent when we compare the SDCS from the BED model with other experimental data (see Sec. VII E) . At high incident energies, the dipole contribution to the SDCS-the difference between the solid line and the Mott cross section in Fig. 2(a)-increases while the Mott cross section remains almost constant, making the overall shape of the Platzman plot strongly resemble the shape of the dipole function in Fig. 2(b). B. One-electron ions

for the hydrogen atom to one-electron ions as outlined in Sec. VI. Experimental TICS'S for Het and Liz+ are available [26-291. In Fig. 3, we compare our BED cross sections for total ionization using the t + 1 denominator (solid line) and those using the t + u + 1 denominator (mediumdashed line) with the experiment [26] as well as with Younger's distorted-wave Born cros; section (dot-dashed line) [34] and Gryzinski's classical cross section (longdashed line) 1231. While both BED and BEB cross sections with the t + u + 1 denominator are lower than the experimental data near the peak, the BED cross section with the t 1 denominator is in good agreement, as we have discussed in Sec. VI. Gryzinski's cross section is remarkably close to our BED cross section. but this is an accidental agreement, in view of the disagreement seen in the case of H and Hz, for instance. The cross sections for the ionization of He+ measured by Defrance et al. [27] and those by Achenbach et al. [28] are in good agreement, with those by Peart et al. [26] and hence with our BED model with the t + 1 denominator. As is shown in Fig. - 4, the BED cross section with the t -t1 denominator (solid line) is in good agreement with the experimental data by Tinschert et al. [29]. The BED cross section with the t + u + 1 denominator (long-dashed line) is t,oo small, while Gryzinski's classical cross section (medium-dashed line) [23] merges with experiment only beyond the peak.

wave Born cross section (medium-dashed line) by Younger [34] overestimates the peak cross section. A Platzman plot of the SDCS of He by 500-eV electrons is presented in Fig. 6. The solid line is our BED cross section, the filled circles are experimental data by Opal et al. [37], and the filled triangles are those by Goruganthu and Bonham [38]. One can see from the areas in the Platzman plot that the data by Opal et al. lead to too large a total cross section, while the normalization of the Goruganthu-Bonham data seems to be correct. The advantage of a Platzman plot is amply demonstrated by the small peak a t R / E 0.23, which represents the autoionization of the doubly excited 2s2p state. The overall shape of the Platzman plot comes from that of the dipole function E(df/dE) for He, which is similar in shape to that shown for H in Fig. 2(b), though the magnitude and abscissa are very different from those for H. The BED model is too simple to account for sharp autoionization peaks and resonances, although we could

have indicated their presence by including such details seen in photoionization experiments in the dipole function E(df/dE) we have used. The shape and height of such resonances in SDCS's, however, would have been incorrect because the BED model does not account for the intricate interference between the doubly excited states and the background continuum.

mates the peak cross section. The squares represent the classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) cross section calculated by Schultz et al. 1401, which agrees well with experiment from threshold to the peak. The CTMC cross section begins to fall below the experimental data beyond the peak because CTMC cross sections lack the dipole contribution that increases at high incident energies. A Platzman plot of SDCS a t T = 100 eV is presented in Fig. 8. Two sets of experimental data are available at this incident energy, those by Shyn et al. [41] (filled circles) and those by DuBois and Rudd [42] (filled triangles). Both sets of experimental data indicate a departure from the expected shape for slow secondary electrons, W <: 10 eV. Since the lowest secondary electron energy measured by DuBois and Rudd is W = 4 eV, their data must be extrapolated to the threshold, W = 0 eV, before the corresponding integrated cross sections, at T = 100 eV, can be determined. Judging from the area under the Platzman plot, the data by DuBois and Rudd would lead to ai a t T = 100 eV, significantly lower than that shown in Fig. 7 . As shown in this example, the Platzman plot provides an effective guide to extrapolate SDCS's to the threshold, where experimental difficulties are the greatest.

from the shape of the dipole function E(df/dE)--while the data by DuBois and Rudd for slow secondaries are too low, as they themselves indicated [42]. The overall shape of the Platzman plot-with a peak at R / E N 0.2-reflects the shape of E(df /dE). Had we used the BEB model, the shape of the Platzman plot would have resembled that shown in Fig. 2.

present the details of the SDCS beyond the "operational" definition of the upper limit, W, = (T - B)/2, of the secondary electron energy. VIII. CONCLUSIONS

We have successfully combined the binary-encounter theory and the dipole interaction-referred to as the binary-encounter-dipole (BED) model-to provide a remarkably reliable method to predict singly differential and total ionization cross sections. Both types of cross sections have three basic components: the electron exchange term, the hard collision term, and the dipole interaction term. The ratios between these components were determined by requiring the asymptotic total ionFIG. 11.

For the sharp drop near 1000 eV results from the fact that atomic ions with a n open-shell configuration, we found 1500-eV incident electrons which have ionized K electhat a minor modification brought the BED and experitrons cannot have energies above that value. There are mental cross sections into good agreement. For the cases similar drops in the 1470-1490-eV region due to the other we have tested, the BED cross sections agree very well molecular orbitals, but they are not resolved. Note that with experiment from threshold to high incident enerthe ordinate in Fig. 12 is the ratio of du/dW to the gies. The BED theory does not contain any fitted or Mott cross section, unlike the Platzman plot. Also, the adjustable parameters and is not a perturbation theory. abscissa is the secondary electron energy itself, W , to It works well at low incident energies because it is closely linked to the Mott theory, which includes the Coulomb interaction to all orders, although it was derived for a free-electron target. When details of differential oscillator strengths are not available, we offer the simple binary-encounter-Bethe (BEB) model. This model provides ionization cross sections for targets which are theoretically difficult to handle, e.g., polyatomic molecules. The shape of the differential ionization cross section based on the BEB model may not be realistic, but we found that the corresponding total ionization cross sections are reasonable. A systematic application of the BED model to more complex targets than those presented here is needed to understand the validity of this simple but remarkably effective model. To do so, not only reliable total photoionization cross sections but also cross sections for each of the outer subshells of atoms and molecules, e.g., those FIG. 12.

no experimental SDCS's of one-electron ions to compare with our theory. With the BED and BEB models, both singly differential and total ionization cross sections can easily be calculated for most atoms, atomic ions, and molecules. The accuracy of electron-impact ionization cross sections provided by the BED and BEB models over the entire range of energies should be adequate for most applications, including modeling of radiation and plasma effects.
