“…Here, the contributions of secondary electrons are also presented (process (6)). In addition, the contributions of the processes (4a-4c) are shown for two cases: (a) upon excitation of only the N2(A 3 Σu + ) state by secondary electrons, (b) upon excitation of the states N2(B 3 Πg, W 3 Δu, B' 3 Σu − , C 3 Πu) and the energy transfer from these four states to the A 3 Σu + state during spontaneous transitions (2a-2c, 3) and in molecular collisions [Kirillov, , 2011Kirillov et al, 2017].…”

Reactions of electronically excited molecular nitrogen with H2and H2O molecules: theoretical study

“…Elementary reactions with excited N 2 (A 3 Σ + u ) molecules participate in the nitrogen and nitrogen-oxygen discharge plasma chemistry [4,5,12,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], play an important role in the atmospheres of different planets (e.g. in airglow, auroras, red sprites) [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Besides, such processes occur in highenthalpy nitrogen (air) flows under the strong shock wave [39,40] and nozzle expansion [41,42] conditions.…”

“…Though unusually high chemical reactivity of N 2 (A 3 Σ + u ) was discussed as far back as 1970-1980s [13,19], the reaction kinetics involving triplet sigma nitrogen have not been elaborated well till now, despite the great interest expressed by the researchers engaged in the fields of atmospheric, discharge, and plasma chemistry [19,44]. So, the processes of electronic-electronic and electronic-vibrational exchanges, involving excited N 2 (A 3 Σ + u ) molecule, as well as its collisional quenching or deactivation were extensively investigated both theoretically [36,37,[45][46][47][48][49] and experimentally [13,19,30,44,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. Meanwhile, in the most studies, reporting the measured data on the N 2 (A 3 Σ + u ) deactivation kinetics, only the decay of A 3 Σ + u state was detected, and conclusive identification of possible reaction channels and products was not performed.…”
