Effect of high pressure on the excess electron mobility in nonpolar liquids

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7204090

Excess electron mobilities were measured in n-pentane, cyclopentane, n-hexane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane(DMB), 2,2,4-trimethylpentane(TMP) and tetramethylsilane(TMS) over the range 0.1 to 250 MPa and 20 to 120/sup 0/C. For the first four liquids the mobility decreases with pressure at all temperatures studied. For 2,2-DMB and 2,2,4-TMP the mobility increases with increasing pressure at low temperatures but decreases with pressure at high temperatures. For TMS the mobility decreases with pressure only slightly at all temperatures. These results are compared with currently available theoretical models. 10 refs., 1 fig.
