Abstract

This paper reports on the differential, integral, momentum transfer and viscosity cross sections along with spin polarisation for elastically scattered electrons and positrons from iron atoms in the incident energy (Ei) range 1Ei104 eV. In addition, we report here systematically the details of the critical minima in the elastic differential cross sections, and the absorption and total cross sections. An optical model using a complex optical potential, composed of static, exchange, polarisation and imaginary terms, is used to solve the Dirac relativistic equation in partial-wave analysis. A comparison of our evaluated cross sections with the available experimental data and other theoretical findings shows a reasonable agreement over the studied energy range.
