Low‐Energy Electrons in Nonpolar Fluids

Excess electron kinetics by dispersive conductivity: A proposition

“…Here the majority of electrons are known to be localized (Schiller, 1972;Davis and Brown, 1975;Holroyd, 1987;Nyikos and Schiller, 1988;Schmidt, 1997). Electron mobility is about m ffi 10 À5 m 2 =Vs hence with s % 4 Â 10 À10 m (this being the radius of a bubble around the localized electron) one finds t D % 10 À13 s. The second order scavenging rate coefficient, k 0 s is in the order of k 0 s % 10 12 M À1 s À1 for scavengers like N 2 O, pyrene, SF 6 or CCl 4 (Baxendale et al, 1973;Allen and Holroyd, 1974;Allen et al, 1975, see also Schiller and Nyikos, 1977).…”

“…In the present paper we will treat a particular case of frequency dependence (mobility dispersion) effected by chemical reaction of the charge carrier. The liquid phase reaction of a localized, excess electron (Davis and Brown, 1975;Holroyd, 1987;Nyikos and Schiller, 1988;Schmidt, 1997) and a scavenger will be discussed,…”

Molecular dynamic simulation of electron bubble transport in n-hexane liquid

“…[25,26]. + is the true mobility of n-hexane at room temperature [1]. Figure 3 shows the drift velocity of the electron bubble against the electric field intensity at room temperature.…”

“…Since Faraday's initial reporting of the electrostatics [6] important concepts of electron status such as free electron [1,5], quasi-free electron [7,8], and localization [1] were established, and corroborated experimentally [9,10]. Springett, Jortner, and Cohen (SJC) [11] established the basic criterion for electron stability in the liquid.…”
