Experimental rate coefficients for the removal of NH(a¹Δ) and ND(a¹Δ) in collisions with H and D atoms are presented; all four isotope combinations are considered: NH+H, NH+D, ND+H, and ND+D. The experiments were performed in a quasistatic laser-flash photolysis/laser-induced fluorescence system at low pressures. NH(a¹Δ) and ND(a¹Δ) were generated by photolysis of HN₃ and DN₃, respectively. The total removal rate coefficients at room temperature are in the range of (3-5) x 10¹³ cm³ mol^-1 s^-1. For two isotope combinations, NH+H …
