Electron Impact Ionization Cross-Section Maxima of Atoms

Using measured cross-sections and polarizability data, an empirical scaling law is extracted for the electron collision single-ionization cross-section maxima of neutral atoms. We found that the cross sections scale linearly with the target’s static polarizability. We confirm this observation using...
