Theoretical study of the Electron energy distribution Function and the ionization coefficient for pure Krypton, Chlorine discharge and their mixtures

Abstract EN

Theoretical calculations performed on the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) and ionization coefficient (a/N) in pure Krypton (Kr) and pure chlorine (Cl) and their mixtures by using Boltzmann transport equation.

The numerical solutions are utilized within the international computer code kinema-Elendif.

The results have been compared successfully with other researcher's results and there was a good agreement.

A set of electron cross-section data have been used in the calculation.

The calculated distribution function found to be remarked non-Maxwell Ian that have energy variations which reflect the import electron-molecule energy exchange processes.

It is noted that a small quantity of Cl₂ add to pure Kr affects the electron energy distribution function and the ionization coefficient of the mixtures.
