Low-energy electron impact dissociative recombination and vibrational transitions of N${}_2^{+}$

Abstract

Cross sections and thermal rate coefficients are computed for electron-impact dissociative recombination and vibrational excitation/de-excitation of the N${}_2^{+}$ molecular ion in its lowest six vibrational levels, for collision energies/temperatures up to 2.3 eV/5000 K.
