The rate of decay of hydrogen atoms has been measured in a conventional type of discharge-flow system at temperatures between 190–350 °K. The recombination fitted the equation[Formula: see text]where ks is the first order surface rate constant. No three-body recombination for M = H was observed at the low levels of dissociation (2–5%) employed. When the flow gases contained traces of water vapor and (or) oxygen as impurities, the homogeneous rate constants (k2,M) had a small positive activation energy which was due to the influence of a surface reaction between hydrogen atoms and the impurities. In the absence of impurities, true homogeneous rate constants were obtained. A value of k2,Ar = 4.6 ± 0.5 × 1015 cm6 mole−20s−1 was found at 291 °K. The temperature variation was approximately T−1/2 over the range 190–350 °K.


The rate constants of the reactions N + O + M = NO + M (2) O + O + M = O 2 + M (4) have been determined in active nitrogen systems, nitric oxide being added to result in the partial production of oxygen atoms. The concentrations of these atoms were monitored by measurements of the intensity of the N 2 First Positive emission and NO β emission. The following rate constants (in cm 6 mole –2 s –1 ) were obtained at room temperature (298 °K) N 2 Ar He 10 –15 k 2 3.88 ± 0.30 2.98 ± 0.35 1.36 ± 0.17 10 -14 k 4 11.3 ± 1.1 6.0 ± 0.6 4.6 + 0.4 In the range 196 to 327 °K, the temperature coefficient of reaction (2) corresponds to a T -½ dependence or an activation energy of –270 ± 120 cal/mole. This is unusually small for a three body recombination and contrasts with more ‘normal’ activation energy of –1420 ±350 cal/mole found for reaction (4). The NO β emission associated with reaction (2) has a similar temperature coefficient to the overall reaction, but is slightly enhanced by replacing the nitrogen carrier by argon. Our kinetic studies of this emission generally confirm the mechanism of Young & Sharpless (1962).

The recombination of gaseous ions in the presence of third bodies is assumed to follow a sequence of two bimolecular steps: M + X+ [Formula: see text] MX+ and MX+ + Y− [Formula: see text] XY + M. The termolecular rate constants of the over-all processes are calculated for several ionized gases at various temperatures. For the calculation, the equilibrium internuclear separation and the corresponding binding energy of a complex ion, MX+, are obtained by minimizing the interaction energy between M and X+, which is approximated to the sum of the Lennard-Jones potential for the M–X interaction and the polarization energy between M and X+. The recombination coefficients of some ionized gases at 288 °K and various pressures are calculated and compared with the observed data. The agreement is found to be satisfactory. The limitations of this theoretical approach are discussed.

AbstractAn ion embedded in warm/hot dense plasmas will greatly alter its microscopic structure and dynamics, as well as the macroscopic radiation transport properties of the plasmas, due to complicated many-body interactions with surrounding particles. Accurate theoretically modeling of such kind of quantum many-body interactions is essential but very challenging. In this work, we propose an atomic-state-dependent screening model for treating the plasmas with a wide range of temperatures and densities, in which the contributions of three-body recombination processes are included. We show that the electron distributions around an ion are strongly correlated with the ionic state studied due to the contributions of three-body recombination processes. The feasibility and validation of the proposed model are demonstrated by reproducing the experimental result of the line-shift of hot-dense plasmas as well as the classical molecular dynamic simulations of moderately coupled ultra-cold neutral plasmas. Our work opens a promising way to treat the screening effect of hot and warm dense plasma, which is a bottleneck of those extensive studies in high-energy-density physics, such as atomic processes in plasma, plasma spectra and radiation transport properties, among others.
