Abstract

Transport properties and velocity distributions of atomic ions in model atomic gases have been analysed over a wide range of reduced electric field using the flight time integral (FTI) method. Isotropic scattering in the center of mass frame was assumed for the determination of ion speed after collision. The FTI analyses were carried out for two model cases of constant collision frequency (CCF) and constant collision cross section (CCS) with the assumption of isotropic scattereing in the laboratory frame. In both the CCF and CCS, the transport properties show regular changes from the low field thermal region to the high field E / N dependent region. Zero field mobilities, temperature and E / N dependences of transport properties for CCF and CCS conditions are discussed. The velocity distributions as functions of ion velocity components in the field direction for various temperatures and E / N values are compared.
