Excitation of the b 1Σ+g state of O2 by low energy electrons
Abstract
Rate coefficients for excitation of the b 1Σ+g state of O2 by low energy electrons have been measured using a drift tube technique. The time dependence of the absolute intensity of the 762 nm band emission was measured for O2 densities between 1016 and 2×1018 molecules/cm3. When corrected for electron attachment, ionization, and metastable diffusion, the number of b 1Σ+g molecules produced per centimeter of electron drift and per O2 molecule calculated from the 762 nm emission varied from 1.3×10−18 cm2 at E/N=5×10−17V cm2 to 2.1×10−16 cm2 at E/N=2×10−15V cm2. These values of electric field to oxygen density ratio E/N correspond to mean electron energies of 0.75 and 6 eV, respectively. Measured decay constants for the 762 nm radiation yield a value for the product of the diffusion coefficient and the O2 density of (5.0±0.3) ×108 cm−1 sec−1 and a quenching coefficient for the b 1Σ+g state of (3.9±0.2) ×10−17 cm3 sec−1. Comparison of measured excitation coefficients with values calculated using a recommended set of electron collision cross sections for O2 show that the cross sections for direct excitation of the b 1Σ+g state are accurate near threshold and suggest that essentially all of the O2 molecules excited to levels at and above 1.63 eV result in the formation of molecules in the b 1Σ+g state.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
