An analytical approach to the distribution function of electrons in the molecular oxygen discharge

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Analytical expressions for the electron distribution function and the kinetic coefficients in the molecular oxygen glow discharge are given. The relative importance of the various collisional processes in evaluation of some experimentally measured quantities is discussed as well as the validity of the present results.
