The drift velocity and the ratio of transverse diffusion coefficient to mobility have been measured for electrons in gaseous carbon monoxide and deuterium at 293 K. The measurements were made under conditions where vibrational excitation is the major energy loss in order to resolve some discrepancies that exist between published vibrational excitation cross sections for these gases. The results are in good agreement with the majority of the existing data where available, but the error bounds are reduced significantly in some cases.

The stereodynamics of the title reaction on the ground 1 1A′ potential energy surface (PES) has been studied using quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method. Collision energy of 6.4 kcal/mol is considered, and vector properties including angular momentum alignment distributions and polarization-dependent differential cross-sections (PDDCS) of the product OH are presented. Furthermore, the influence of reagent rotational excitation and vibrational excitation on the product vector properties has also been studied in the present work. The results indicate that the distribution of the P(θr) and P(ϕr) are sensitively affected by the rotational and vibrational excitation. The rotational excitation decreases the degree of alignment and orientation, while vibrational excitation increases the degree of alignment and orientation. The PDDCS (2π/σ)(dσ20/dωt) and (2π/σ)(dσ22+/dωt) are sensitively influenced by rotational and vibrational excitations, while the PDDCS ((2π/σ)(dσ00/dωt)) and (2π/σ)(dσ21-/dωt) are not. The preference of forward scattering has been found from the results of PDDCS ((2π/σ)(dσ00/dωt)), which is in good agreement with the experimental results.

The drift velocity and longitudinal diffusion coefficient of electrons in 0�2503% and 1� 97% C02-Ar mixtures were measured for 0�03 ~ E/N ~ 20 Td. The measured electron swarm parameters in the mixtures were used to derive a set of consistent vibrational excitation cross sections for the C02 molecule. Analysis of electron swarms in pure C02 using the present vibrational excitation cross sections was also carried out in order to determine a new momentum transfer cross section for the C02 molecule.

A detailed description is given of a technique in which emissions from H and H2 are used to calibrate an apparatus used for electron-impact emission cross-section measurements in the wavelength range 90–130 nm. Absolute emission cross sections have been measured at 200 eV electron-impact energy for the 120 nm N I line following dissociative excitation of N2 and for the Ar and Ar+ lines at 104.8, 106.7, 92.0, and 93.8 nm respectively. Good agreement with earlier works is obtained in the case of the N I line when earlier data are renormalized to take into account the recent revision of the cross section for production of Lyman α from H2. Measurements of the 104.8 and 106.7 nm lines suggest a 40% cascade component for the latter line at energies of 200 eV and above.
