Abstract: The theoretical analyses of the elastic scattering of deuteron from 6Li, and 9Be were performed in the optical model (OM) framework. The double-folding model with a density-dependent M3Y-type effective interaction was used to derive both the real and the imaginary components of the optical potential. The derived nuclear optical potentials were subsequently employed in the OM formalism to analyse the angular distribution data of deuteron scattering from 6Li, and 9Be at different incident energies. The calculated differential cross-sections were compared with experimental data across multiple incident energies. The results demonstrate that the derived potentials accurately reproduce experimental observables, confirming the reliability of the double-folding model and the OM for modelling light-ion scattering. These findings also underscore the applicability of the M3Y-type interaction in describing short-range nuclear interactions in light nuclei.
