Abstract
Abstract
A detailed modeling of N
2
+
transport properties in helium gas has been performed by employing Monte Carlo calculations based on ab initio collision cross-sections reported by our group in a preceding paper (S Paláček et al 2022 Plasma Sources Sci. Technol. 31 105004). A broad range of the reduced electric field (
E
/
N
) is considered to provide data directly usable in macroscopic modeling of processes in cold helium plasmas. The N
2
+
mobility in helium gas at room temperature (T = 300 K), the characteristic energies of its longitudinal and transversal diffusion, and the rate constant of the N
2
+
dissociation induced by collisions with helium atoms have been calculated. The effect of the N
2
+
initial rotational-vibrational excitation is investigated as well as the effect of the rotational alignment of the N
2
+
molecule. A direct comparison with N
2
+
/He mobility experimental data is performed as well as indirect tests of theoretical estimates of the characteristic diffusion energies by comparing the latter with pseudo-experimental data obtained from mobility experiments via an inverse-method approach.
