| Summary: | Contributions of intermolecular electron energy transfers in the electronic
quenching are calculated for molecular collisions N<sub>2</sub>(A<sup>3</sup>Σ<sub><I>u</I></sub><sup>+</sup>, W<sup>3</sup>Δ<sub><I>u</I></sub>)+N<sub>2</sub>(X<sup>1</sup>Σ<sub><I>g</I></sub><sup>+</sup>,
<I>v</I>=0), N<sub>2</sub>(A<sup>3</sup>Σ<sub><I>u</I></sub><sup>+</sup>)+N<sub>2</sub>(X<sup>1</sup>Σ<sub><I>g</I></sub><sup>+</sup>, <I>v</I>≥0), N<sub>2</sub>(A<sup>3</sup>Σ<sub><I>u</I></sub><sup>+</sup>)+O<sub>2</sub>(X<sup>3</sup>Σ<sub><I>g</I></sub><sup>−</sup>, <I>v</I>=0–2),
O<sub>2</sub>(a<sup>1</sup>Δ<sub><I>g</I></sub>, <I>b</I><sup>1</sup>Σ<sub><I>g</I></sub><sup>+</sup>)+O<sub>2</sub>(X<sup>3</sup>Σ<sub><I>g</I></sub><sup>−</sup>, <I>v</I>=0–2). The calculation has allowed one to
estimate the product branching ratios. It is shown that there is a
dependence of the calculated rate coefficients on the vibrational excitation of
N<sub>2</sub>(X<sup>1</sup>Σ<sub><I>g</I></sub><sup>+</sup>) and O<sub>2</sub>(X<sup>3</sup>Σ<sub><I>g</I></sub><sup>−</sup>) molecules. In many cases, the calculated rate coefficients
have a good agreement with available experimental data. |
