Low-Energy Electron Scattering in the Random-Phase Approximation
Low-Energy Electron Scattering in the Random-Phase Approximation is a scholarly work, published in 1971 in ''Physical Review A, General Physics''. The main subjects of the publication include elastic scattering, quantum mechanics, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, atomic physics, Surface weather analysis, physics, quantum electrodynamics, computation, electron scattering, Mott scattering, Random phase approximation, quasielastic scattering, scattering, Born approximation, low-energy electron diffraction, scattering theory, electron, inelastic scattering, scattering length, formalism, and scattering amplitude. A general formalism for the computation of low-energy inelastic and elastic electron scattering cross sections within the context of the particle-hole Bethe-Salpeter equation is presented and shown to reduce to the random-phase approximation (RPA) in lowest order.
