The dynamically screened three-Coulomb-wave (DS3C) method is applied to study the single ionization of potassium by electron impact. Triple differential cross-sections (TDCS) are calculated in doubly symmetric geometry at excess energies of 6, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 eV. Comparisons are made with recent experimental data and theoretical predictions from a three-Coulomb-wave (3C) and distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA). The DS3C method is able to reproduce most of the trend of experimental data and in good agreement with DWBA results. It is shown that the DS3C calculation provides much better shape and relative magnitude agreement with experiment.
