Figure 1
Bound–free, bound–bound and free–free transitions in biomolecular plasma. Acronyms denote electron–electron scattering (EE), electron-impact ionization (EII) and three-body recombination (TBR). Bound energy levels are reminiscent of carbon for illustrative purposes. Processes are labeled to indicate the populations they affect: one or both of P (the ionic states) and f (the free electrons). The dotted section at E = 0 represents the weakly bound molecular structure that is ignored here. Filled circles represent initial-state bound electrons, and hollow circles their final states.
