Abstract

The Monte Carlo method is applied to the study of electron-ion recombination in CO2, CH4 and NH3 over a wide range of pressures. Dissociative recombination is enhanced by energy transfer to the ambient gas molecules and the recombination rates peak at 11, 2 and 9 × 105 CM3 s−1, respectively. At very high pressures, the rate approaches the Langevin limit.
