On the CO2 laser generated channel conductivity and electron beam ionization of ammonia
Abstract
An equilibrium electron density in ammonia channel generated by CO2 laser absorption is calculated and the corresponding residual conductivity is given. Electron beam collisional and avalanche ionization parameters in ammonia are presented. Calculations are made for electron beam generated ionization and conductivity in ammonia. These are performed for two experiments. The beam generated conductivity seems to predominate the residual conductivity generated by the laser absorbed channels.
