Vibrational Excitation of Hydrogen via Recombinative Desorption of Atomic Hydrogen Gas on a Metal Surface

Abstract: Recombinative desorption of atomic hydrogen on the walls of a gas cell has been observed to populate vibrational levels up to u -9. The vibrational populations follow a Boltzmann distribution near 3000 K up to v * 3 and for higher levels the populations are well in excess of this temperature. These observations bring to light a new mechanism for vibrational excitation of H2 in volume H ~-ion sources.PACS numbers: 79.20.Nc, 34.80.Gs, 52.40.Hf The interaction of molecules with surfaces is a rapidly developing… Show more

“…Similar nonequilibrium distributions were found for H 2 in other kinds of gas discharges, 15,[23][24][25] but also for H 2 in the interstellar medium. 1,2,11 However, despite the similarity in distributions, the proposed mechanisms leading to nonBoltzmann state distributions are very different.…”

“…Перспективным каналом колебательного возбуждения молекул H 2 является взаи-модействие между водородными атомными или молекулярными ионами H + 2 и H + 3 на металлической поверхности плазменной камеры [16,17]. В результате рекомбинации на поверхности атомов газовой фазы могут образовываться колебательно возбуж-дённые молекулы водорода H 2 ( ′′ ) [18,19]. Экспериментальные исследования [20] подтверждают существенный вклад поверхностных процессов на производительность источника отрицательных ионов.…”

“…In addition to the volume processes mentioned above, we cannot ignore the effect of chamber wall (filament and cesium depositions) because of the recombinative desorption (RD) [16][17][18]. This process also influences the population distribution of the vibrational states.…”
