Abstract

The velocity, v, of positive ions in normal 3He in strong electric fields, E, is calculated using the theory of Fetter and Kurkijarvi (1977). A model for the recoil function, F(k,t), has been proposed by the author, which leads to the prediction that the mobility increases linearly with ln(1/T), where T is the temperature. Measurements of the v-E characteristic will test this model of F(k,t). It is found that the model predicts that v-1=( mu E)-1+C for fields greater than 103 V m-1, a result which has already been observed.
