Kinetics of Electrons in H$_{2}$O at High Values of Reduced Electric Field

POSTER

Abstract

In this work we present electron transport coefficients in H$_{2}$O for the conditions used in plasma assisted technologies. Monte Carlo technique, already used for similar discharges in nitrogen, argon and hydrogen is used to obtain transport parameters for a range of reduced electric field values (E/N=100-10 kTd). In this work we focus on anisotropic scattering of electron transport and its effects on spatially resolved emission. Agreement with experimental data for electron drift velocity and effective electron ionization for the conditions of moderate E/N allowed us to study production of heavy particles and subsequently spatial emission as a consequence of their transport.
