Kinetics of Nitrogen Atom Recombination

Stabilization of free radicals at low temperatures :

“…The appearance of intense Emission spectrum in visible region of nitrogen irradiated by 10 kv electrons at 1^.2°K. not present to any appreciable extent in these flashes while it is one of the principal spectral features of the gaseous afterglow where N atom recombination occurs with a rate constant of 5X 10^^c m^mole~ŝ ec-i [48].…”

The relation between the production efficiency of nitrogen atoms and the electrical characteristics of a dielectric barrier discharge

“…, which leads to underestimation of the decay rate of atomic N [3,[18][19][20]. A literature study reveals that an average value on the order of 1.5•10 -32 cm 6 s -1 can be assumed, based on direct measurement techniques such as NO titration and ESR [21][22][23][24][25][26]. Less than 1 in 6 recombinations of atomic N lead to an N2(B) state [20], though this ratio has no effect on the results presented here, only on the absolute intensity of the FPS emission.…”

Deterministic and Monte Carlo methods for simulation of plasma‐surface interactions

“…In the 1950s–1960s, the number of studies of atomic recombination on surfaces has rapidly increased following the advent of the various techniques for detection of atomic species: titration, catalytic probes, mass‐spectrometry, optical emission spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry . Atomic hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen were among the most popular species under investigation.…”
