in the intermediate (ν3=3-16) vibrational levels emerges; this equal number densities of vibrational levels is often termed as "Treanor plateau" [250]. Hocker et al [242] reported that the population of higher vibrational states (upto ν3 = 4) reached equal concentra- tions in less than 10 μ s in low pressure CO2 discharges. It was attributed to the very fast VV transfer rates and in the framework of this simple model high VV-transfer rates are responsible for equalization. Similar distributions in vibrational levels of CO2 asymmet- ric mode, in microwave plasmas, and in a very short time scales for DBDs have also been reported by Kozák et al. [64] from numerical simulations albeit in a more comprehensive model. The similarity in distributions calculated at different conditions in this model indic- ates that once a significant amount of CO2(v31) is created, it will always lead to an efficient VV transfer along the asymmetric mode and subsequently to over population of higher levels. An inversion between the first two states, that is higher density of CO2(v32) as compared with CO2(v31) occurs for the two low tplasma, at all pressures. It shows that, if the electrons are not continuously populating the initial levels, then there is a net flux towards highly excited states. There is no such inversion observed between CO2(v32) and CO2(v33) indicating that for the time scales probed the VV transfer between CO2(v32) to CO2(v33) is still slower when compared between the first two excited states; CO2(v32) population increases at the expense of CO2(v31) while CO2(v31) decreases due to lack of electron impact excitation. Lowest densities of all the levels are observed at all ressures when the voltage is switched on for the lowest time (tplasma = 0.077ms) at all pressures as expected. If we look at the evolution of vibrational distribution for a typical condition, figure 5.13 for the standard condition but when the voltage is switched off after 10 cycles of operation (tplasma = 0.077ms), we can see that distribution starts from a Boltzmann like distribution and it slowly evolves into Treanor like distribution. This form of evolution has been observed in all the conditions with few important differences. The common feature is that the population of initial states decreases with time while the population of higher states (ν3 > 2 ) increases with time. The amount of this decline in seed states depends on tplasma. When plasma is switched off, densities of higher levels increase at the expense of lower levels, which require electrons to be populated. The number of vibrational levels that are reaching the flat part (or over population) increases with plasma-on time. From the rate of evolution of vibrational distributions, rate of dissociation can be cal- culated – the second goal of this chapter. If it is assumed that the 20th level (CO2(v320)) along the asymmetric vibrational mode spontaneously dissociates into CO and O, then 142 5.9. RESULTS & DISCUSSION
