What Does VPM Stand For?
VPM stands for Variable Phase Method For Electron Atom Scattering Calcns
VPM, or Variable Phase Method for Electron Atom Scattering Calculations, is a computational technique used in quantum mechanics to analyze and predict the scattering behavior of electrons interacting with atoms. This method relies on the variation of phase shifts in wave functions to accurately model the potential interactions in scattering processes, providing insights into cross-sections and resonance phenomena. VPM is particularly valuable for studying low-energy electron collisions and contributes to our understanding of fundamental atomic and molecular processes.
