Previous issue date: 2012-09-14 === Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos === Elastic Differential Cross Sections (EDCS) were measured for the interaction of electrons in the incident energy range of 100-1000 eV, with several polyatomic molecules, namely: ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), sulfur dioxide (SO2), tetramethylsilane - TMS (C4H12Si), tetrahydrofuran - THF (C4H8O), trimethylphosphate - TMP (C3H9O4P) and ethyl acetate (C4H8O2). Crossed beam geometry is used and the intensities of elastically scattered electrons selected by a retarding field analyzer are measured as function of the scattering angles. The covered angular range is from 5to 130and the relative flow technique is used to normalize experimental scattered intensities to absolute scale. The secondary standards are Ar and N2. Only for TMP the normalization to absolute scale relied on theoretical values calculated with the Independent Atom Model (IAM). The EDCS curve was manually extrapolated to generate data in the forward and backward directions that were not covered experimentally. The full curve of EDCS from 0º to 180º was then integrated to give the Integral Elastic Cross Sections (IECS) and Momentum Transfer Cross Section (MTCS) in the 100 1000 eV interval. Part of results of this study has already appeared in scientific articles in the specialized literature. The results are new for TMP and ethyl acetate. The present experimental values of EDCS, IECS and MTCS are reported in comparison with available data. There was no experimental data in the literature to be compared with our measurements, in the 200 1000 eV except for THF. The theoretical data used for comparison are based on the Schwinger Variational Iterative Method (SVIM) and the Pade Approximant with the computer code EpolyScatD. In addition, the IAM and the Additivity Rule (AR) were also used to generate theoretical EDCS values. In general, a good agreement was seen between theoretical and experimental values. This study points out the importance of inclusion of the absorption effects in the optical potential, especially for intermediate energy electrons and scattering angles above 20º. === Neste trabalho, realizamos os estudos experimentais da interacao de eletrons na faixa de energia incidente de 100 a 1000 eV, com moleculas poliatomicas, sendo elas: o etano (C2H6), propano (C3H8), metanol (CH3OH), etanol (C2H5OH), dioxido de enxofre (SO2), tetrametilsilano - TMS (C4H12Si), tetrahidrofurano THF (C4H8O), trimetilfosfato TMP (C3H9O4P) e acetato de etila (C4H8O2). Valores de secoes de choque diferenciais elasticas foram determinados em arranjo experimental de feixes cruzados. As intensidades de espalhamento elastico foram medidas em funcao do angulo de espalhamento apos selecao dos eletrons em um analisador do tipo campo retardador. As intensidades relativas foram normalizadas para escala absoluta atraves da Tecnica do Fluxo Relativo (TFR), usando Ar e N2 como compostos padroes. Apenas para o TMP a normalizacao foi feita a resultados teoricos calculados com o modelo dos atomos independentes (MAI). Investigou-se tambem, a metodologia de determinacao do fluxo gasoso, essencial na obtencao de valores absolutos das secoes de choques (SCs). Desta forma, sao apresentados valores experimentais, para a faixa de energia mencionada e intervalo angular de 5º a 130º, de Secoes de Choque Diferencial Elastica (SCDE). Tambem obtivemos valores de Secao de Choque Integral Elastica (SCIE) e Secao de Choque de Transferencia de Momento (SCTM) na mesma faixa de energia. Parte dos resultados deste estudo foi divulgada em artigos cientificos publicados na literatura especializada, e sao ineditos nos casos do TMP e acetato de etila. Os dados teoricos utilizados para comparacao sao de estudos de colaboracao teoricoexperimental que utiliza a teoria baseada nos metodos Variacional Iterativo de Schwinger (MVIS) e Aproximante de Pade com o programa computacional EpolyScatD. Alem disso, utilizou-se tambem, o MAI e a Regra da Aditividade (RA) para geracao de dados teoricos de SC. A comparacao teoricoexperimental apresentou boa concordancia e consequentemente confianca nos dados obtidos, alem disso, permitiu tambem, mostrar a importancia da inclusao do efeito de absorcao nos calculos teoricos de SCDE para energias intermediarias e angulos maiores que 20º.
