Abstract
The dissociative recombination rate coefficient for NO+ has been measured at 300 K using a flowing afterglow Langmuir probe-mass spectrometer apparatus. A value of (4±1) × 10-7 cm3 s-1 has been found for ground electronic and vibrational state ions produced from the parent NO gas. Ions produced from a N2:O2 mixture which are in a wide range of vibrationally excited states display a smaller recombination rate of (1.6±0.5) × 10-7 cm3 s-1.
