In general, the electron attachment rate constant k/sub a/ (, T), as a function of the mean electron energy and temperature T for electronegative gases which attach electrons nondissociative ily, decreases greatly with T from room temperature to Tapprox. <600 K, while the k/sub a/ (, T) of electronegative gases which attach electrons dissociatively increases with increasing T.
