Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.14, p.1061 (1981). A method for simultaneously calculating the electron energy distribution function and the vibrational population in CO and He-CO discharges is described. The solution is self-consistent and includes the interdependence between the CO vibrational population and the electron energy distribution function. This mutual influence is accounted for by incorporating the electron-impact excitation of vibrationally excited molecules as well as superelastic collisions. The cross-sections for stepwise excitation are calculated using a model based on experimental data. The electron energy distribution function is given in an analytical form. The calculations are carried out for different He-CO mixtures and for several values of the electron concentration, the gas temperature and the ratio E/N.
