Intermolecular electron energy transfer processes in the quenching of N-2(C-3 Pi(u),v=0-4) by collisions with N-2 molecules
The removal rates of electronically excited molecular nitrogen N-2(C-3 Pi(u),v = 0-4) in the collisions with the ground state N-2(X-1 Sigma(+)(g),v* = 0-4) molecules are calculated according to analytical expressions. The study includes a consideration of intermolecular electron energy transfers with the electronic excitation of target molecules. Reasonable agreement of the calculated rate coefficients with data of experimental measurements is obtained.
