THEORY OF ELECTRON DIFFUSION PARALLEL TO ELECTRIC FIELDS. II. APPLICATION TO REAL GASES.

摘要: The theoretical analysis of the preceding paper is extended to include inelastic collisions. resulting theory then used obtain values for diffusion coefficient ${D}_{L}$, which appropriate electrons diffusing parallel an electric field. Theoretical $\frac{{D}_{L}}{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ are compared with $\frac{{D}_{T}}{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ as a function $\frac{E}{N}$ gases helium, argon, hydrogen, deuterium, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, monoxide, krypton, and xenon; $\ensuremath{\mu}$ electron mobility, ${D}_{T}$ perpendicular field, $E$ field strength, $N$ number density gas. A comparison also made between available experimental this quantity. Experimental differences that have been observed ${D}_{L}$ order factor seven in argon two nitrogen satisfactorily explained.
