Abstract

Light-induced drift (LID) of a rarefied gas in a cell with circular-cylindrical geometry is studied, and exact solutions to the model rate equations are obtained, with exact analytical solutions for the case of surface LID (SLID); the special case of the limit of low radiation absorption by the gas in SLID is given particular attention. Many results are different from those of previous work. Emphasis is placed on considerations of comparison with experiment. This is part II of a series of papers, part I having studied LID with flat-plate geometry [F. O. Goodman, preceding paper, Phys. Rev. A 65, 063409 (2002)].
