Using a relatively simple semiclassical model, it is shown that transient, induced molecular negative ions (TIMNI), are produced through a potential barrier interaction between cold electron collisions and polarizable molecules in plasma. Such new negative ions lead to radio-frequency absorption in such discharges. The calculated radio-frequency absorption frequencies are consistent with earlier experimental measurements.
