In this paper we present data for excitation and quenching rate coefficients of the N 2 (CSH,) state as a whole and for its v=0, v=l and v=2 vibrational levels. The results have been obtained using a steady state non-selfsustained discharge in pure nitrogen (and also in a 95 % N2+5 % H 2 mixture) and by absolute measurements of radiation from the gas. We also discuss in detail our experimental apparatus and procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
