Matrix variational calculations of electron-atom scattering
Abstract
The continuum variational method of Kohn has been developed into a practical computational method in electron-atom scattering theory. This algebraic or matrix variational formalism is reviewed, with emphasis on the computational procedures necessary for applications to inelastic scattering processes. The matrix variational method has been used to obtain quantitative theoretical results relevant to recent experimental research. Examples of such applications will be given. © 1979.
