Collisional energy transfer in two-component plasmas
The friction in plasmas consisting of two species with different temperatures is discussed together with the consequent energy transfer. It is shown that the friction between the two species has no effect on the ion acoustic mode in a quasi-neutral plasma. Using the Poisson equation instead of the quasi-neutrality reveals the possibility for an instability driven by the collisional energy trans...
متن کاملCollisional Energy Transfer in C2H2
Energy transfer via bath gas collisions is an important factor in controlling the kinetics of many combustion reactions. Previous work [1, 2] demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of trajectory calculations for predicting energy transfer parameters for use in the master equation calculations of pressure dependent rate coefficients. Here we use these methods to study collisions between acety...
متن کاملCollective Modes and Energy Transfer in Two-Temperature-Plasmas
Electron-ion collisions are one of the main processes that drive the relaxation towards equilibrium. Most theoretical approaches of the connected energy transfer consider only independent binary collisions (see, e.g., Refs. [1-3]); collective excitations are neglected. Although decoupled electron-ion modes have only small effects [4], Dharmawardana & Perrot found strongly reduced energy transfe...
متن کاملCollisional energy transfer in highly excited molecules.
The excitation/de-excitation step in the Lindemann mechanism is investigated in detail using model development and classical trajectory studies based on a realistic potential energy surface. The model, based on a soft-sphere/line-of-centers approach and using elements of Landau-Teller theory and phase space theory, correctly predicts most aspects of the joint probability distribution P(ΔE,ΔJ) f...
متن کاملCollisional Energy Loss of Fast Charged Particles in Relativistic Plasmas
Following an argument by Kirzhnits we rederive an exact expression for the energy loss of a fast charged particle in a relativistic plasma using the quantum field theoretical language. We compare this result to perturbative calculations of the collisional energy loss of an energetic electron or muon in an electron-positron plasma and of an energetic parton in the quark-gluon plasma.
