Abstract

This paper reports electron impact total cross section, total elastic, total inelastic and differential cross sections for molecules Anthracene, Pyridine and Warfarin having been computed using the independent atom model with screening-corrected additivity rule over an incident energy range of 10-30000 eV. The calculations are performed with relativistic (Dirac) partial-wave for scattering by applying a local central interaction potential V(r). A model spherical complex optical potential is used for calculations. Good agreement is achieved in intermediate and high-energy zones.
