Recently, laser-induced electron diffraction has been used to image molecular structures with subangstrom precision and exposure times of a few femtoseconds by Blagaet al.[Nature (London) 483, 194 (2012)0028-0836NATUAS10.1038/nature10820], who treated molecular ions as neutral molecules in the calculation of differential cross section (DCS) for elastic scattering of electrons by molecular ions. In this work, we investigate the long-range and short-range potential effects in elastic scattering of electrons with ions and atoms. It has been found that for incident electron energies above 100 eV and scattering angles greater than 40, the DCSs of long-range Coulomb potential scattering can be neglected and the DCSs for elastic scattering of electrons with atomic ions and neutral atoms agree well. Therefore, the validity of the treatment in Blagaet al.is verified.
