| Zusammenfassung |
| In this work I present the results of a study
of the electron cooling rate, the production rates of vibrationally excited O2,
and the production frequency of the O2 vibrational quanta arising
from the collisions of electrons with O2 molecules as functions of
the electron temperature. The electron energy transfer and cooling rates by
vibrational excitation of O2 have been calculated and fitted to
analytical expressions by use of the revised vibrationally excited O2
cross sections. These new analytical expressions are available to the researcher
for quick reference and accurate computer modeling with a minimum of
calculations. It is also shown that the currently accepted rate of electron
energy loss associated with rotational transitions in O2 must be
decreased by a factor of 13. |
