Abstract

Field surface ionization of radicals formed as a result of exothermal heterogeneous reaction in a vibrationally excited state is investigated. Such radicals are ionized in accordance with the mechanism of nonequilibrium surface ionization. The parameters of a multimolecular complex (the number of molecules in the complex and the number of its effective degrees of freedom) preceding the formation of radicals are calculated from the temperature dependences of ion currents. The values of these parameters coincide with analogous values of the quantities calculated for ions of the radicals formed in the same reaction, but having an equilibrium energy distribution.
