Abstract

Nitrogen is widely used in many technical and industrial applications. Electron swarms in a gas under the influence of an electric field can be simulated with the help of a Monte Carlo method. The evaluated swarm parameters are compared with experimental results for drift velocity, electron mean energy and the ionization coefficient. The electron-molecule collision cross sections adopted in the simulation result are in a good agreement with the experimental values.
