Abstract

The method is based on division of the electron path calculated along the electric field into intervals with equal value of potential difference. This enabled quantization of the electron energy distribution and calculation of losses of those energies and of the number of ions generated in each interval, based on the macroscopic effective collision cross-sections of the different types of collision. The influence of elastic collisions is considered through a new coefficient of electron path extension, which depends on the electron energy and electric field intensity of each interval. The method proposed here is useful for low current densities, for which the space charge and collisions of the second kind may be neglected.
