Abstract

With the aim of providing datasets for simulations of electron transport processes in the upper atmosphere, we measured singly differential elastic electron scattering and doubly differential electron-impact ionization cross sections of nitrous oxide. These measurements were conducted for primary electron energies between 30 eV and 1 keV in the angular range of 20°–150°. Secondary electron energies spanned from 4 eV to approximately half of the primary electron energy. In addition to the measurements, the differential elastic scattering cross sections of nitrous oxide were calculated using the IAM-SCAR + I model. Furthermore, the singly differential and total ionization cross sections of nitrous oxide were obtained by integrating the doubly differential ionization cross sections over emission angle and over both emission angle and secondary electron energy, respectively. These cross sections were compared to calculations performed using the BEB model and to experimental results of other groups, who determined the total ionization cross sections of nitrous oxide by collecting ions generated during electron impact.

一氧化二氮的差弹性散射和电子撞击电离截面

为了给模拟高层大气电子传输过程提供数据集，我们测量了一氧化二氮的单差分弹性电子散射和双差分电子撞击电离截面。这些测量是在 20°-150° 角范围内对 30 eV 至 1 keV 的一次电子能量进行的。二次电子能量的范围从 4 eV 到一次电子能量的一半左右。除测量结果外，还利用 IAM-SCAR + I 模型计算了一氧化二氮的差分弹性散射截面。此外，通过对发射角的双差分电离截面以及发射角和二次电子能量的双差分电离截面进行积分，分别得到了一氧化二氮的单差分电离截面和总电离截面。这些截面与使用 BEB 模型进行的计算结果以及其他研究小组的实验结果进行了比较。
