Abstract
We have obtained differential and integral cross sections for elastic scattering of electrons by magnesium atom at 10 –
100 eV using a complex, local, energy-dependent, spherically-symmetric optical potential incorporating a modified semiclassical
exchange potential. The results have been compared with available theoretical and experimental results. The present
results are in good agreement with recent experimental results at electron impact energies E ³ 40 eV and are in qualitative
agreement at lower energies. The results indicate the reliability of the modified exchange potential at higher energies in the
intermediate energy range.
