Abstract
The ballistic model of electron transport proposed by Mozumder (Chem. Phys. Lett. 1993. V. 207. P. 245) is applied to interpret experimental data on the photoconductivity of solutions in three hydrocarbon liquids: methylcyclohexane, isooctane, and squalane. For methylcyclohexane, the values of the quasi-free electron mobility 100 cm2 V−1 s−1 and electron trap density 3 · 1019 cm−3 agree with experimental data. For isooctane, the motion of a quasi-free electron is nearly diffusive, whereas the trap density is ∼0.8 · 1018 cm−3. As to squalane, the two-state model turned out to be inapplicable to describing electron transport. The results obtained are used to discuss initial stages of ionization in liquids.
