Although the ion energy distributions cited by these authors for E/N=1 kTd, p=0.46 Torr, and d=2 cm are presumably obtained with the same apparatus as those cited by Rao, they differ significantly.

46. The calculated numbers of momentum transfer collisions for H+, H2+, and H3+ with H2 for the conditions of Fig. 1 are 0.3, 2 (0.4), and 0.3, respectively. For Fig. 1, they are 56, 0.6 (2.2), and 62, respectively. The numbers in parentheses are the numbers of low energy ion conversion reactions for H2+ to H3+, which dominate the higher energy elastic scattering for H2+ at low E/N. Such numbers for H and H2 are not very meaningful because of their large fluxes at very-low energy.

102. Rated as "semiconductor" grade fused silica. The reflection coefficient for 100 eV D atoms striking graphite at angles of ∼70° to the normal is ∼0.8 for a smooth surface compared to ∼0.4 for a rough surface. See M. Mayer, W. Eckstein, and B. M.

115. The discrepancy between the model and experiment for distances larger than 0.02 m in Fig. 8 is easily removed by increasing the empirical electron excitation coefficient αx /N of Appendix by about a 15%. We have left such discrepancies uncorrected in favor of a smooth dependence of the excitation coefficient on E/N.

117. Analytic solutions have been obtained to the partial differential equations for H+, H2+, and H3+ for simplified cross sections, e.g., constant reaction cross sections, and for conditions appropriate to E/N=10 kTd, e.g., small energy loss for H+ and H3+. These results show a flat behavior of the flux energy distributions for H+ and H3+ at low energies, such as shown in Fig. 9 for H+. This is in contrast to the sharp peak at low energies shown in some experimental ion energy distributions for H+ and H3+. A relatively flat energy distribution at low energies has been obtained by Petrović and Stomatović for H+ and H3+ at E/N=10 kTd using a Monte Carlo solution.

139. One notes that the ionization coefficients derived from our spatially dependent emission data and from our transient data are systematically lower than the recent Monte Carlo calculations of Mokrov and Raizer and experiments such as those of Folkhard and Haydon. If we were to raise our fit to the ionization coefficient data by, for example, ∼1.5 at 3 kTd so as to fit the Monte Carlo result, we would need to correspondingly lower the reflected fast atom flux from our interpretation of surface experiments or to lower the cross section for excitation of H (n=3) by H atoms from experiment. A possible reason for low apparent ionization and excitation coefficients in our drift tube is the loss of scattered electrons to the side walls of the drift tube.
