Abstract

The results of investigations of positive ion/molecule reactions in pure sulfur hexafluoride and in a mixture of sulfur hexafluoride with argon are presented. The essential purpose of this paper is to examine the mechanisms by which positive ions are formed in SF 6 and in mixtures of SF 6 and argon. Relative values of the ion currents have been determind as a function of gas pressure in the ion source, and of the concentration of SF 6 in the gaseous mixture with argon. Measurements were performed by use of a mass spectrometer with a high pressure ion source constructed by the authors. The reaction rate constant for SF 5 + ions in pure sulfur hexafluoride was determined.
