Measurement of Electron Excitation of the a 1 delta g State of 02 Using the Swarm Technique.
Abstract
Measurements have been made of electron excitation coefficients for the a 1 delta g metastable state of O2. The measurements were made in mixtures 1 and 5% O2 in Ar for mean electron energies between about 0.9 and 4 eV. The measured excitation coefficients are about 30% above predictions for 1% O2 and about 30% below predictions for 5% O2. The measured rate coefficient for quenching of the O2(a1 delta g) state by O2 is in good agreement with the literature value, but the rate coefficient for quenching by Ar is about twice previously published values.
