Molecular Reaction Rates.

Abstract

The energies and wave functions for several series of Rydberg states of the nitrogen molecule have been calculated. Based on these results a long-wave infrared emission spectrum of the nitrogen molecule is predicted. The optical cross sections for exciting a series of atomic oxygen emission lines in the long-wave infrared region by electron impact on oxygen molecules have been obtained. Keywords: Rydberg states, Quantum defect; Dissociative excitation by electron impact; Optical excitation cross sections; Atomic transition probabilities; Ground state; Convergence; Cations; Electron orbitals; Hamiltonian equations; Eigenvalues; Energy levels.
