Effect of a momentum-transfer scattering at inelastic collisions on the electron transport II: Case study in Ar

In the previous paper, we presented an expression for the inelastic momentum-transfer scattering on the collision integral of the Boltzmann equation, in order to reflect the effect of an inelastic scattering distribution of an electron with a molecule on the electron kinetics in gases and collisional plasmas 1]. In the present paper we will discuss the influence of the anisotropic scattering of the inelastic collisions on the electron velocity distribution in Ar with a scattering distribution of cosT. The numerical procedure is based on our Direct Numerical Procedure of the Boltzmann equation 2]. A comparison of the electron velocity distribution between of the anisotropic scattering and isotropic one in an rf-field will give us a renewed interest in the electron transport in gases and collisional plasmas. 1.
