“…Recent studies of rotational excitation include H2 (Danby et al 1996), HeH+ and N0+ (Rabadan et al 1998), CO (Randell et al 1996), 0 2 (Mukherjee & Ghosh 1996), H 2 0 (Gianturco et al 1998a), 0 3 (Gianturco et al 1998b), C 0 2 (Gianturco & Stoecklin 1997), and S 0 2 ). Vibrational excitation due to electron collisions has been investigated for H 2 (Lee et al 1996a;Kazanskii 1996;Mazevet et al 1998), HD (Kazanskii 1996), N 2 (Grimm-Bosbach et al 1996;Sweeney & Shyn 1997), OH (Chen & Morgan 1997), CO , and CH 4 (Bundschu et al 1997) while studies of electronic excitation of H 2 (Celiberto et al 1996), CO (Lee et al 1996b;Zubek et al 1997;Zetner et al 1998), CO, C0 2 , and S0 2 (Fomunung et al 1996), N 2 (Gillan et al 1996), NO (Mojarrabi et al 1996), 0 3 (Sweeney & Shyn 1996), H 2 0 (Morgan 1998), H 2 S (Michelin et al 1997), and CH4 and SiH4 (Bettega et al 1998) have been performed.…”
