摘要：

The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) in decaying nitrogen plasmas is investigated numerically. The comparison of the calculated and experimentally measured EEDF allows a correction to be made to the cross sectional magnitude for electron scattering from vibrationally excited molecules. The influence of electron-electron (e-e) collisions on the EEDF is investigated. It is shown that e-e collisions may have a strong influence on the EEDF in decaying plasmas even at very low degrees of ionization (2 x 10(-6)).
