“…We point out that our localization criteria, (18) and ( 19), are not expected to and do not apply to rare gas liquids since our assumption that R equals the Wigner-Seitz radius is then not valid. If one tries to apply (18) and ( 19) to rare gases, the quasi-free state is always predicted, even for Ne and He.…”

“…We then have the following localization criteria where approximate mobility ranges are (Vo -Vq*) > 0 -* localization (µ < 1 cm2 V-1 sec-1) (18) (Vo -Vo*) < 0 -* quasi-free (µß 110 cm2 V 1 sec-1) (19) given in accordance with the range above which electron band motion is considered valid. We have therefore found that the general localization criterion, Et < Vq, can be replaced by the localization criterion Vq* < Vq.…”

“…Although there is a considerable body of data concerning ionic motion, it is only during about the last six years that significant progress has been made in the study of the behaviour of fast charge carriers, and reports have appeared concerning electronic mobility in non-polar dielectric liquids. The results of experimental and theoretical work have been reported by Allen (1969,1970), Holroyd and Allen (1971), Minday et aZ(1969, 1971), Davis et aZ (1971), Dodelet and Freeman (1972), Kestner and Jortner (1973), Bakale and Schmidt (1973a, b), Robinson and Freeman (1974), Schmidt et aZ(1974a, b), Bakale et aZ(1975, Allen and Holroyd (1974), and Holroyd and Tauchert (1974). The object of the present paper is to express the experimental results for electronic mobility in the saturated hydrocarbon series CnHzn+2 by means of semi-empirical formulae, which may give some indication as to how electronic mobility and molecular structure might be related.…”

“….:tit. with the mole fraction of the components for both n-hexane/TMS and n-hexane/neopent~ne solutions (18). If we assume that the same linear dependence of V applies to the 0 mole fraction in i-octane/TMS mixtures, we can then determine the dependence of k on e V 0 for this two-component system.…”
