Pertinent Topics from Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics 

For chemical etching, polyatomic halogen-bearing molecules are often used. Electron collisions with these molecules often lead to negative ions through electron dissociative attachment, 

The determination of electron-collision cross sections over a broad range of kinetic energy cannot be accomplished in a single experiment, and requires the 

One particular area where theoretical studies are especially appropriate concerns electronically excited states of molecules, which should be abundant in a chemically reactive plasma. Apart from metastable states, it is in general difficult to prepare excited states of molecules, and especially of radicals, in a
