A Predictive Ionization Cross Section Model for Inorganic Molecules

Author(s)
Abstract
To resolve a long-standing lack of experimental data for electron impact ionization cross sections for inorganic molecules, or the availability of a reliable predictive method, we have developed a modified classical model. The model relies on the know or expected ionic bonding character of most inorganic and, particularly, of high temperature molecules. Based on isoelectronic analogy, use is made of available cross section data for the elements, together with know or readily calculated ionization potentials for the molecules of interest.Citation
