Electron transport in fast dielectric liquids at high applied electric fields

摘要

The drift velocity, w, of excess electrons as a function of the applied uniform electric field, E, in liquid 2,2-dimethylpropane (TMC), tetramethylsilane (TMS), tetramethylgermanium (TMG), tetramethyltin (TMT), 2,2,4,4-tetramethylpentane (TMP) and in mixtures of TMS with TMP (mole ratio M = 1.31/1) and n-pentane (M = 102/1, 17/1, and 5.6/1) has been measured for E-values up to (approximately)10(sup 5) V cm(sup (minus)1). The thermal electron mobility in the above liquids is 71.5, 119.3, 114.7, 85.7, 31.8, 39.1, 118, 85, and 47.6 cm(sup 2) s(sup (minus)1) V(sup (minus)1), respectively. 8 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
