The electron induced processes on these materials are of prime importance for the application purposes. Electron impact total ionization cross sections (TICS) are reported for the Watoms and W+ ions. The TICSs have been calculated in the variants of distorted wave approximation (DWA) using Hartree-Fock wave functions and distorted potential with semi-classical exchange. Present TICS results have been compared with the available theoretical and experimental results. Reasonable agreement with the existing theoretical results have been obtained for the TICS of W atoms by present semi-relativistic distorted wave approach, however there are certain discrepancies for the TICS of W+ ions. Differential cross sections (DCSs) have also been calculated at projectile energy 100 eV for the ionization of W atoms and W+ ions and the DCSs have been found to be sensitive on the scattering angle.}, title = {Electron Impact Ionization Cross Sections of Tungsten Atoms and Tungsten Ions}, volume = {13}, year = {2018} }
