Cross section data for electron-impact inelastic processes of vibrationally excited hydrogen molecules and their isotopes

摘要

An extensive cross section database for the electron-impact inelastic processes of vibrationally excited hydrogen molecules and their isotopes is presented. The following inelastic processes are covered: electronic excitation (dissociative and non-dissociative), direct ionization (dissociative and non- dissociative), excitation-radiative decay vibrational excitation and dissociation, dissociative electron attachment and resonant capture - vibrational excitation. The data have been compiled partly from the literature and partly generated theoretically for the present report. The data are presented in both tabular and graphical form. The data are also presented by sufficiently accurate analytic fit functions. Mass-scaling relations are provided for cross section evaluation of those isotope molecules for which calculated data are not available. (author) 30 refs, 34 figs, 60 tabs
