Electron kinetics of molecular nitrogen dc discharge

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Boltzmann equation for the electron gas in a DC discharge was solved simultaneously with the system of balance equations governing the populations of the vibrational levels in the ground state of molecular nitrogen. The calculation was performed for a stationary discharge in which the vibrational dissociation mechanism (ladder) is compensated by the wall recombination of nitrogen atoms. The results include the electron and molecular vibrational distributions together with the dissociation degree calculated over a wide range of the discharge parameters.
