Abstract

Binary encounter approximation has been used for theoretical calculations of electron impact single ionization cross sections of singly ionized Ar atom at ground state in the energy range of 29.1eV to 2495.1 eV/amu. The cross sections for energy transfer given by Vriens’ and quantum mechanical Hartree-Fock velocity distributions for target electron have been used in the calculation. The contributions in total single ionization cross sections from 3p and 3s subshells are observed higher than from 2p, and the contributions from 3p first increases with impact energy and then decreases with increase of impact energy whereas the contribution from 3s decreases with impact energy. About 69% of results have ratio factors ≤ 1.5 and 59% have values 1.25. Major contributions to the total ionization cross sections are from 3p and 3s for direct single ionization.
