The role of internal degrees of freedom of molecular species in non-equilibrium plasmas is briefly outlined. Importance of collision cross sections for electron-impact with excited molecules in kinetic models is discussed, and few examples of some particular process in real plasma systems is illustrated. Some preliminary results of vibrational excitations by electron impact are shown.

Abstract
The role of internal degrees of freedom of molecular species in non-equilibrium plasmas is briefly outlined. Importance of collision cross sections for electron-impact with excited molecules in kinetic models is discussed, and few examples of some particular process in real plasma systems is illustrated. Some preliminary results of vibrational excitations by electron impact are shown.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
