Thermalization of atomic particles in gases
- St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical Institute (LETI) (Russian Federation)
A model of the atomic particle thermalization process due to scattering in various gases with application of the Born-Mayer potential is presented. The thermalization process of atomic particles using the statistical modeling method is considered. Our thermalization model is adapted to a wide class of atomic collision partners, takes into account the real energy and angular distributions of atomic particle sources, and makes it possible to calculate the parameters of the spatial zone of their thermalization and transfer into the diffusion motion mode. The energy range of applicability for the atomic particle thermalization model is interesting for many applied problems in plasma physics, gas discharge, and ion plating processes.
