New electron energy transfer rates for vibrational excitation of N2
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present the results of a study of the electron cooling rate, the production rates of vibrationally excited N2 v, and the production frequency of the N2 vibrational quanta arising from the collisions of electrons with unexcited N2 0 and vibrationally excited N2 1 molecules as functions of the electron temperature. The electron energy transfer rates for vibrational excitation of N2 have been calculated and ®t to analytical expressions by use of the revised vibrationally excited N2 cross sections. These new analytical expressions are available to the researcher for quick reference and accurate computer modeling with a minimum of calculations.

Electron-impact resonant vibrational excitation and dissociation processes involving vibrationally excited N2 molecules
Resonant vibrational excitation cross sections and the corresponding rate coefficients for electron–N2 collisions occurring through the N − 2 (X 2 g) resonant state are reviewed. New calculations are performed using accurate potential energy curves for the N2 electronic ground state, taken from the literature, and for the N2 resonant state, obtained from R-matrix calculations. The calculations ...

In this work I present the results of a study of the electron cooling rate, the production rates of vibrationally excited O2, and the production frequency of the O2 vibrational quanta arising from the collisions of electrons with O2 molecules as functions of the electron temperature. The electron energy transfer and cooling rates by vibrational excitation of O2 have been calculated and ®tted to...

2014 The energy transfer reaction between Ar(3P0), Ar(3P2) and molecules of N2 was studied in the afterglow of a pulsed electrodeless discharge. The population decays of the metastable argon atoms and the intensity decays of the nitrogen second positive emission bands were monitored simultaneously. A dye laser was used to selectively depopulate each metastable argon species and the relative var...
متن کاملVibrationally inelastic scattering of high- n Rydberg H atoms from N2 and O2.
The vibrationally inelastic scattering of Rydberg H atoms (n = 30-50) from N2 and O2 at E(coll) = 1.84 eV was studied as a function of laboratory deflection angle. On average, 4 times more vibrational excitation was observed in collisions with O2 than with N2. Vibrational excitation of O2 results largely from collisions in which an electron is briefly transferred from O2 to the proton core, whi...

Molecular vibrations and electron-vibrational interactions are central to the control of biomolecular electron and energy-transfer rates. The vibrational control of molecular electron-transfer reactions by infrared pulses may enable the precise probing of electronic-vibrational interactions and of their roles in determining electron-transfer mechanisms. This type of electron-transfer rate contr...
