“…The reaction rate for all three of these measurements is in reasonable agreement in magnitude and temperature dependence, with a large thermal rate coefficient α 3 × 10 −6 cm 3 s −1 at 50 K, and a temperature dependence ∝ T −0.8 . These results are consistent with the earlier results by Mul et al (1983) obtained using a different technique. The branching ratio has been a subject of some uncertainty, the papers cited above all put the fraction of the recombinations that result in production of OH in the range 0.5 f(OH) 0.7.…”

“…20 In the present m-ASS plasmas, as well as the ASG plasma, probable pathways for ·OH generation are described as the collisions between free electrons and H2O + or H3O + ions. [21][22][23] Therefore, it is natural to consider that ·H and ·OH should generate more effectively in the -plasma, than in the +plasma due to the high electron number density.…”

“…The dissociation cross section of H2O + and H3O + for the collision with electrons drastically increases as the kinetic energy of the colliding electron decreases. [21][22][23] For example, when the electron energy decreases from 1 to 0.5 eV, the dissociation cross section increases from about 7 × 10 -17 cm 2 to 3 × 10 -16 cm -2 . 21 As shown in Fig.…”

The role of the excited radical CH* is important under conditions of an external stimulating source such as laser impact [30].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
