Scientific paper

A microwave-afterglow mass-spectrometer apparatus employing microwave heating of the electrons has been used to determine the dependence on Te of the recombination coefficient of electrons with HCO(+) ions. By comparison of the observed electron-density decays to the computed behavior of a recombination- and ambipolar-diffusion-controlled afterglow, it is found that the Te dependence of the recombination coefficients follows a power law with an index of -0.69 + or - 0.07 over the range Te = 293-5500 K. The magnitude of the recombination coefficient is similar to that observed and calculated for simple diatomic ions, while the temperature dependence is somewhat stronger than the Te exp -0.5 dependence predicted by a simplified theory for diatomic ions.
