Online Published on 29 December, 2022. Abstract In this article, the calculation of ionization cross-section of N2 molecule by electron impact is reviewed. The work on ionization cross-sections from threshold to high (10 KeV) incident electron energies are calculated and their applications are discussed. To find exact values of total ionization cross-sections for the N2 molecule, a semiempirical approach of Jain and Khare (1976) is adopted which is a modification to eliminate the error factors, and then it is compared with the existing experimental and/or theoretical data which gives satisfactory results Top Keywords Cross-section, Electron impact, Partial and total ionization.
