Formación del ion negativo de carbón por asociación radiativa

Abstract

In the present paper the problem of the radiative association of atoms of carbon $C$ with electrons $e^{-}$ at an interval of kinetic temperatures $ T_{c}$ of 100 $\leq$ T$_{c}$ $<$3000$^{\circ }$K is considered. The calculation of the rate of these associations has been made by using the principle of detailed balance. It is shown that the rate has the expected behavior (it increases with the temperature). This behavior is very similar to the one found for the $ H^{-}$ formation rate coefficient, which also increases with the temperature.
