Abstract
A 1D in position and 2D in velocity Particle in Cell with Monte Carlo Collision model of a low-pressurenitrogen discharge plasma has ben coupled to a 1D reaction-diffusion kinetics for the whole vibrational ladder of the N2(X) state, for the vibrationally lumped N2(A), N2(B), N2(C), N2(a') states as well as for N atoms. The model includes several electron-molecule as well as molecule-molecule processes. The effect of the self-consistent coupling of the two models on the results in the case of a parallel-plate RF discharge is discussed for two different values of the RF frequency.
