Momentum Transfer Cross Section

A form of modified effective range theory (MERT) has been used to analyse drift velocity data for both pure krypton and molecular hydrogen-krypton mixtures. The present momentum transfer cross section reproduces the data to within 4% for pure krypton and to within 1 �0% for the H2-Kr mixtures.

Measurements of electron drift velocities have been made in 0�4673% and 1�686% hydrogenkrypton mixtures at 293 K and values of E/ N from 0�08 to 2�5 Td with an estimated uncertainty of <�0�7%. The data have been used in conjunction with the H2 cross sections of England et aL (1988) to derive the momentum transfer cross section for krypton over the energy range 0�05 to 6�0 eV. The drift velocity data have also been used to test the Kr momentum transfer cross sections of Koizumi et aL (1986) and Hunter (personal communication 1988). The cross section of Koizumi et aL is clearly incompatible with the present measurements while the cross section of Hunter has been used to predict these measurements to within 1% to 3%.

Momentum Transfer Cross Section

The momentum transfer cross section for electron-argon collisions in the range 0–4 eV has been derived from an analysis of recent measurements of DT/μ as a function of E/N at 294 K (Milloy and Crompton 1977a) and W as a function of E/N at 90 and 293 K (Robertson 1977). Modified effective range theory was used in the fitting procedure at low energies. An investigation of the range of validity of this theory indicated that the scattering length and effective range were uniquely determined ,and hence the cross section could be accurately extrapolated to zero energy. It is concluded that for ε ≤ 0.1 eV the error in !he cross section is less than � 6 % and in the range 0.4 ≤ ε (eV) ≤ 0.4 the error is less than � 8 %. In the range 0.1 < ε (eV) < 0.4 the presence of the minimum makes it difficult to determine the errors in the cross section but it is estimated that they are less than −20 %, +12 %. It is demonstrated that no other reported cross sections are compatible with the experimental results used in the present derivation.

Momentum Transfer Cross Section

The momentum transfer cross section for electrons in mercury vapour has been derived over the energy range 0�1-5 eV from the drift velocity data of Elford (1980). The cross section has a resonance at 0�5 eV with a maximum value of 180 A 2 (1� 8 x 10-18 m2). It is shown that previous cross sections derived either from experimental data or obtained by ab initio calculations are incompatible with the drift velocity data.

Momentum Transfer Cross Section

The momentum transfer cross section for electrons in krypton has been derived over the energy range Q-4 eV from an analysis of drift velocity and DT/I-' data for hydrogen-krypton mixtures. At energies in the vicinity of the Ramsauer-Townsend minimum, the present work differs significantly from derivations based on analyses of drift velocity data alone. The overall uncertainty in the derived cross section reflects the experimental errors in the transport coefficients, the uncertainty in the cross sections used to represent the hydrogen component in the mixtures, and the uncertainty associated with the X2 minimisation. The present cross section is compared with recent theoretical calculations and other experimental derivations.

Momentum Transfer Cross Section

Measurements of the drift velocity, the ratio of diffusion coefficient to mobility, and the "magnetic drift velocity" for electrons in helium have been made at 293�K in the range 1.8 X 10−19 E/N −17 V cm2. From an analysis of the drift velocity data, an energy-dependent momentum transfer cross section has been derived for which an error of less than � 2 % is claimed over the central portion of the energy range. The cross section agrees with the theoretical cross section of La Bahn and Callaway to within 2% over the whole energy range. The agreement with the cross section derived by a number of procedures from the total elastic scattering cross section measured by Golden and Bandel is less satisfactory. The drift data are sufficiently accurate to enable a search to be made for the effects of fine structure in the cross section at low energy. The results do not support the existence of such structure.

The drift velocity and longitudinal diffusion coefficient of electrons in 0�2503% and 1� 97% C02-Ar mixtures were measured for 0�03 ~ E/N ~ 20 Td. The measured electron swarm parameters in the mixtures were used to derive a set of consistent vibrational excitation cross sections for the C02 molecule. Analysis of electron swarms in pure C02 using the present vibrational excitation cross sections was also carried out in order to determine a new momentum transfer cross section for the C02 molecule.

The Bradbury-Nielsen time-of-flight method has been used to measure electron drift velocities at 573 K in pure mercury vapour, a mixture of 46�80% helium-53� 20% mercury vapour and a mixture of 9�37% nitrogen-90� 63% mercury vapour. The E/N and pressure ranges used were O� 2 to 1� 5 Td and 5�4 to 15�2 kPa for pure mercury vapour, 0 �08 to 3�0 Td and 5 �40 to 26�88kPa for the mixture containing helium and 0�06 to 5�0Td and 3�33 to 16�67kPa for the mixture containing nitrogen. It is shown that the use of mixtures significantly reduces the dependence of the measured drift velocity on the pressure, due to the effect of mercury dimers, from that measured in pure mercury vapour. An iterative procedure to derive the momentum transfer cross section for electrons in mercury vapour over the range 0�04 to 4 eV with an uncertainty between �5 and 10% is described. It is concluded that previously published momentum transfer cross sections for mercury vapour derived from drift velocity data are significantly in error, due to diffusion effects and the procedure used to correct for the influence of dimers. The present cross section is in good agreement with the semi-empirical calculations of Walker (personal communication).
