Electron Energy Loss Rates in N2, O2 and Air
Abstract
The rate of energy loss by low energy electrons in N2, O2 and air are calculated for an Electron Maxwellian velocity distribution. For each species the rate coefficients for energy loss to specific inelastic processes are presented. These processes are the vibrational excitation, dissociation, electronic excitations and ionization of the species.
