Ionization and Neutralization Processes
Abstract
A review on dissociative recombination between positive ions and negative ions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been published. Accurate R-matrix calculations of dielectronic recombination of 0+ have been made. A new recombination process, tidal termolecular ionic recombination, has been discovered. Termolecular association between diatomic molecules has been discussed. Rate coefficients for excitation and charge transfer in N-O, N-O+, N+-0 collisions have been calculated. Transition probabilities have been computed for several bands of O2. The production of O(1S) from the dissociative recombination of O2+, and the production of vibrationally excited O2+ in the nocturnal F-region, have been considered. Regarding the formation of heavy O3 and heavy CO2, a proof has been given that isotropic fractionation cannot be explained by symmetry considerations alone, and it has been argued that the enhancement of heavy O3 observed in the stratosphere is due to termolecular association. A review on negative ions has been written.
