In the present work, we studied electron-assisted molecular processes for plasma feed gases, TiClx and CFx (x = 1 − 4). These radicals and their parent molecules are of great interest due to their importance for developing plasma reactors and other industrial applications. It is imminent to study charge transport for these molecules to model various phenomena involving ionization. We have calculated total ionization (
), elastic (
), and total (
) cross sections using the quantum spherical complex optical potential (SCOP) formalism aided with the complex scattering potential–ionization contribution (CSP-ic) method. The present results are the first report for TiClx (x = 1 − 3) radicals in this work.
