Elementary Electron-Molecule Interactions and Negative Ion Resonances at Subexcitation Energies and Their Significance in Gaseous Dielectrics

摘要

Recent knowledge on low-energy (mostly approximately less than 10 eV) electron-molecule interaction processes in dilute and in dense gases is synthesized, discussed, and related to the breakdown strength of gaseous dielectrics. Optimal design of multicomponent gaseous insulators can be made on the basis of such knowledge. (ERA citation 03:019177)
