Abstract

In this paper, we present most probable reactions of \(\hbox {Ar}^{{+}}\) ion with \(\hbox {Ar/BF}_{{3}}\) mixtures. Appropriate gas phase enthalpies of formation for the products were used to calculate scattering cross section as a function of kinetic energy. These data are needed for modeling in numerous applications of technologically important \(\hbox {BF}_{{3}}\) discharges. Results for transport parameters, specially rate coefficients as a function of E/N (E-electric field; N-gas density) were obtained by using the Monte Carlo technique.
