Abstract

A diffusional treatment of termolecular association of atomic species A and B in a low density gas is presented and applied to positive ion–negative ion recombination over the full range of masses of reactants for various classes of ion–neutral interactions. In contrast to rates given by the diffusional current, excellent results are obtained for general mass species provided a more basic expression for the association rate is introduced.
