Collisional quenching and energy transfer of NO (D2Σ+,v′=0)

Electronic-Specific Modeling of Nitric Oxide in a Recombining Air Plasma

“…For NO(A), the adjusted coefficients values are given below. For NO(D), we used experimental data from [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The quenching of NO(D) to NO(C) by collisions with atoms has also been studied by Laux (Eq.…”

Photo-acoustic detection on electronic quenching rate constants of NO excited states

“…Collision quenching of NO (A 2 , D 2 ) states, which are employed widely for spectroscopic diagnostics in photochemical and gas discharge, have been measured extensively [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The results show that the ambient gas will influence the quenching rate greatly.…”

“…The quenching rate constants of D 2 state for the gas of N 2 is in the order of 10 −10 cm 3 /molecule s. It is much larger than the one of A 2 state. This phenomena may be caused by the resonant energy transfer process between the excited states of NO and N 2 molecules [3][4][5]. Luque and Crosley [6,7] have investigated the vibrational dependence of the quenching rates of A 2 ( = 0-4) states and found that the quenching rate constants of = 3 and 4 are larger than those of = 0 and 1 states.…”

Ground state atomic oxygen in high-power impulse magnetron sputtering: a quantitative study

“…Combining (7) 4(b). Taking into account the fact that molecular oxygen can be considered as the main quencher at high O 2 admix tures, whereas quenching by Ar can be neglected [42,43], we can write [45] are the quenching rates of the considered O and Ar states by O 2 , and [O 2 ] is the O 2 ground state density). In this case, the final expression for the O atom ground state density through the population of the metastable states in the afterglow can be written in the form:…”
