Electron Compton scattering from methane and methane-d4
Abstract
Quasi-elastic electron scattering at high-momentum transfer was measured for CH4 and CD4 in the gas phase. At high-momentum transfer, two scattering peaks are observed in each molecule. We interpret the splitting as due to independent Compton scattering from each nucleus, such that, at an impact energy of 2keV and 100° scattering angle, the peaks for the C and H in CH4 are split by 2.1eV while those associated with the C and D in CD4 are split …
