Non Equilibrium Dissociation of HF in Electrical Discharges: The Role of Vibrational Excitation *

Dissociation rates o f H F in electrical discharges have been calculated by solving a system of vibrational master equations, including e-V (electron-vibration), V-V (vibration-vibration) and V-T (vibration-translation) energy exchanges. The results show that large dissociation rates can be obtained by this mechanism only when the e-V pumping rates overcome the V-T deactivating rates. This occu...

Non-equilibrium dissociation of nitrogen

Dissociation rates of molecular nitrogen in electrical discharges have been calculated by solving a system of master equations, including V-V (vibration-vibration), V-T (vibrationtranslation) and e-V (electron-vibration) energy transfers. The results show that the dissociation rates slightly increase with decreasing gas temperature in the temperature range 1 000-2 000 K at the electron temperat...

Non-equilibrium Photodissociation Regions: Ionization-dissociation Fronts

We discuss the theory of coupled ionization{dissociation fronts produced when molecular clouds are exposed to < 1110 A radiation from hot stars. A steady, composite structure is developed, which generally includes an ionized outtow away from the cloud, an ionization front, a layer of photodissociated gas, a photodissociation front, and a shock wave preceding the photodissociation front. We show...

Numerical Modeling of Non-equilibrium Plasma Discharge of Hydrogenated Silicon Nitride (SiH4/NH3/H2)

In this work, we model a radiofrequency discharge of hydrogenated silicon nitride in a capacitive coupled plasma reactor using Maxwellian and non-Maxwellian electron energy distribution function. The purpose is to investigate whether there is a real advantage and a significant contribution using non-Maxwellian electron energy distribution function rather than Maxwellian one for determining the ...
