Abstract

The rate coefficient for deactivation of the metastable 2³S state of He by impact of thermal electrons is deduced from recent calculations of inelastic electron-He cross sections. The deactivation rate is found to be nearly constant with temperature. Computed values range between 2.82 and 3.03 (10⁻⁹ cm³/sec) for T between 0 and 2000°K. De-excitation cross sections are given for low-energy incident electrons.

Electron temperature measurements in low-density plasmas by helium spectroscopy
1980, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer
Methods of measuring the electron temperature in low-density plasmas by He spectroscopy are examined. These utilize either the relative intensities of singlet and triplet lines or the absolute intensities of single lines. Calculations from measured and theoretical data show that both methods are seriously influenced by secondary processes, the most important of which are excitation from the metastable levels 2¹S and 2³S, and excitation transfer in electron-atom collisions combined with imprisonment of resonance radiation. The calculations give parameter limits for the validity of different methods and combinations of lines. Due to the secondary processes, the determination of T_e from relative line intensities is restricted to low-density, short-duration plasmas (typically n_e < 2 × 10¹⁶ m^-3, t_ex < 5 × 10^-6 s) or to even lower densities that depend on the apparatus dimensions (typically n_e < 3 × 10¹⁵ m^-3, L ≈ 0.1 m). For the determination of T_e from absolute line intensities, the situation is more favourable and, with a suitable choice of lines, typical restrictions on n_e and t_ex are n_e < 5 × 10¹⁷ m^-3, t_ex < 10^-5 s or n_e < 10¹⁷ m^-3, L ≈ 0.1 m for electron temperatures above 10 eV. For temperatures below 10 eV and degrees of imprisonment below 7% measurements are possible for electron densities up to 10¹⁹–10²⁰ m^-3, without any limits on t_ex or L.
Low-energy electron scattering by complex atoms: Theory and calculations
1978, Advances in Atomic and Molecular Physics
This chapter reviews theoretical methods for the quantitative description of electron scattering by atoms with more than one electron, in the low-energy region. Electron scattering by helium provides an excellent comparison between theory and experiment, because many experimental data are available, and relatively accurate theoretical calculations are feasible. The quantitative theory of electron scattering by a complex atom requires consistent treatment of the N-electron target atom and of the (N + 1)-electron scattering system. For a neutral target atom, low-energy scattering is dominated by the long-range polarization potential due to dynamical distortion of the atom by the incident electron. At short range, the external electron becomes part of a transient negative ion, whose specific states produce resonance structures in scattering cross sections. Much of the observed energy-dependent structure in electron-atom scattering arises from such resonances. Energy can be transferred between the incident electron and target atom, inducing transitions from the initial atomic state. As the energy of the incident electron is increased, successively higher excited states of the atom become energetically accessible. Characteristic scattering structures can occur at each excitation threshold. At low energies, only a relatively small number of partial waves (incident electron angular momentum states) contribute significantly to electron scattering. This number increases with incident electron energy and with the strength of the dominant long-range interaction potential.
Low-temperature rare-gas stationary afterglows
1976, Advances in Electronics and Electron Physics
This chapter describes the low-temperature rare-gas stationary afterglows. Afterglows are particularly well suited to the study of reactions involving excited or ionized atoms or molecules at thermal energies. Stationary afterglows at temperatures between cryogenic and room temperature has substantially progressed in the last few years. Energy stored in long-lived excited species is slowly released during the afterglow, producing electron-ion pairs, and that the large kinetic energy of these electrons plays a large role in heating the bulk electron gas. This is a consequence of the fact that excited species of rare gases are chemically reacting; Penning or Hornbeck–Molnar processes may in some sense be thought of as a form of chemiionization. The electron continuity equation, the energy balance equation, and the metastable continuity equation usually form a set of closely coupled nonlinear, second-order, partial differential equations. In addition, many of the processes which have been put forward to account for experimental observations are still not completely elucidated, and much remains to be done in order to understand precisely what really happens in low-temperature rare-gas afterglows.
Theory of Low Energy Electron Scattering by Complex Atoms
1975, Advances in Quantum Chemistry
This chapter presents theoretical methods that provide a quantitative description of electron scattering by atoms with more than one electron, in the low energy region where ionization is either energetically impossible or unimportant. The principal scattering processes are elastic scattering and excitation of discrete target atom states. Only neutral target atoms are considered. The quantitative description of electron scattering by a complex atom presents a formidable challenge to theory. The chapter elaborates on the structure and interpretation of the electronic wavefunction appropriate to continuum states of the system consisting of an N-electron target atom and an external electron. Variational formalism appropriate for the construction and analysis of such wavefunctions is described. A detailed discussion of the theory of resonances and threshold effects is given. A survey of theoretical methods relevant to low energy electron scattering is discussed. Applications of these methods and comparison with experimental data for electron scattering by He, alkali metal atoms, 0, N, and C are reviewed in the chapter.
