Nonlinear Diffusion of Ions in a Gas
Keyword(s):
The evolution in time of an initially closely bunched group of ions in a neutral gas is examined by solving a model kinetic equation, and limits to the validity of the linear law of diffusion (Pick's law) are established. The implications of nonlinear diffusion processes for determination of ion transport coefficients in drift tube experiments are discussed.
