Excitation coefficients for the production of vibrationally exicted D2 by low energy electrons have been determined from measurements of the intensity of infrared emission from mixtures of D2 and small concentrations of CO2 or CO. The measurements were made using the electron drift tube technique and covered electric field to gas density ratios (E/n) from (5 to 80)×10−21 V m2, corresponding to mean electron energies between 0.45 and 4.5 eV. The CO2 and CO concentrations were chosen to allow efficient excitation transfer from the D2 to the carbon containing molecule, but to minimize direct excitation of the CO2 or CO. The measured infrared intensities were normalized to predicted values for N2–CO2 and N2–CO mixtures at E/n where the efficiency of vibrational excitation is known to be very close to 100%. The experimental excitation coefficients are in satisfactory agreement with predictions based on electron–D2 cross sections at mean electron energies below 1 eV, but are about 50% too high at mean energies ...
