Title: Dependence of electron-impact excitation cross sections on the initial vibrational quantum number in H[sub 2] and D[sub 2] molecules: [ital X] [sup 1][Sigma][sub g][sup +][r arrow]B [sup 1][Sigma][sub u][sup +] and [sup 1][Sigma][sub g][sup +][r arrow]C [sup 1][Pi][sub u] transitions

Electron-impact excitation cross sections have been calculated using the impact-parameter method for [ital X] [sup 1][Sigma][sub g][sup +][r arrow]B [sup 1][Sigma][sub u][sup +] and [ital X] [sup 1][Sigma][sub g][sup +][r arrow]C [sup 1][Pi][sub u] transitions for both H[sub 2] and D[sub 2] molecules as a function of incident energy and of vibrational quantum number [ital v][sub [ital i]]. The results show that the cross sections initially increase monotonically with increasing [ital v][sub [ital i]] and follow the opposite trend for higher [ital v][sub [ital i]] values.
