Description
We report measurements of the breakdown curves of a radio-frequency capacitive discharge in low pressure ammonia. The electron drift velocity was determined from the location of turning points in the breakdown curves in the range of E/p = 42-713 V cm-1 Torr-1. We compare our results to values calculated from the published cross-sections in the range E/p = 1-5000 V cm-1 Torr-1 and find good agreement
