The gamma -radiation-induced conductance of liquid alkanes was studied as a function of electric field strength, irradiation dose rate, and temperature over wide ranges. The conductance at fields below about 10/sup 2/ V/cm seems to be governed by electrode processes, but is not understood. The conductance at fields between about 10/sup 2/ and 10/sup 3/ V/cm was explained earlier STAG. R. Freeman, J. Chem. Phys. 39: explain the results at fields greater than 10/sup 3/ V/cm. It appears that the number of electrons that escape their parent ions or spurs increases markedly with increasing field strength at high fields, but is nearly independent of temperature. (auth)
