Termolecular Associations of Ions in Gases, Recombination and Electron-Atom Collisions

Abstract

A list of publications of the research performed during the period 7/ 1/84 - 7/30/89 of the Grant AFOSR - 84-0233 is provided. Theoretical research has been conducted on (a) Termolecular Association and Recombination (b) electron- (excited) atom collisions and on (c) analytical solutions of the Time- Dependent Debye-Smoluchowske equation for transport influenced reactions. Papers on all of the above topics have been written up and published as papers, with reprints sent to AFOSR at various times during the period. The exact Master Equation Method, a Variational Principle discovered during the course of this research, and various approximate treatments are presented is Special Highlights of this research. In addition, the Appendixes include a major review of Recombination Process in General. Keywords: Recombination; Master equation; Variational principle; Diffusional method; Bottleneck method; Strong-collision; Coupled nearest-neighbor; Radiative; Dissociative.
