Description
Summary:We investigate the influence of Ar and N2 gas mixtures on the electron energy distribution EEDF function and the corresponding electron transport coefficients ETCs, by utilizing (EEDF) program to solve the Boltzmann transport equation. The study has an importance in the studies of N2 glow discharge to determine the appropriate best mixtures ratio to work in such devices. The calculations were carried out in steady-state standard conditions. The effect of reduced electric field E/N for the range covered between (10 - 600) Td on EEDF and ETCs are studied by drawing graphical plots for different calculated data to compare among different concentrations of gases using Matlab. It is also performing some of the fittings for calculated data of ETCs for pure gases using Igor Pro program software. According to the proposed cross section provided by the (EEDF) program there is an excellent agreement of the calculations with some of the previously published data, e.g. for the drift velocity.
