Cross sections set and transport parameters of H2+ ions in argon gas

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this work, we present predictions for the low energy cross section set and transport properties of the H2+ in argon gas. These data are needed for modelling in numerous technologically important applications. To ensure accurate calculation of transport parameters within the hydrodynamic regime, a Monte Carlo simulation method is applied. We discuss new data for H2+ ions in argon gas, where the mean energy, drift velocity, flux, and bulk values of reduced mobility and rate coefficients are given as a function of low and moderate reduced electric fields, E/N (E - electric field strength, N - gas number density).
