Energy of the quasi-free electron in low density Ar and Kr: Extension of the local Wigner-Seitz model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present new measurements of the perturber induced shift of the CH3I ionization energy at low perturber number densities and analyze these data within the local Wigner-Seitz model previously used at high density. We compare the local Wigner-Seitz model with the scattering approach developed by Fermi, and modified by Alekseev and Sobel’man, and show that the local Wigner-Seitz model extends smoothly into the low density region and accurately predicts the temperature dependence of the shift in ionization energy.

Energy of the quasi-free electron in supercritical argon near the critical point
Field ionization of high-n CH3I Rydberg states doped into argon is presented as a function of argon number density along the critical isotherm. These data exhibit a decrease in the argon induced shift of the dopant ionization energy near the critical point. We show that this decrease is due to the interaction between argon and the quasi-free electron arising from field ionization of the dopant....

Field ionization of trimethylamine and of N,N-dimethylaniline doped into xenon is presented as a function of xenon number density up to the density of the triple point liquid, both at noncritical temperatures and along the critical isotherm. These data exhibit a decrease in the xenon induced shift of the dopant ionization energy near the xenon critical point. The energy of the quasi-free electr...
متن کاملEnergy of the quasi-free electron in argon, krypton and xenon
Recent field ionization measurements of various high-n molecular Rydberg states doped into argon, krypton and xenon perturbers are presented as a function of perturber number density up to the density of the triple point liquid. These data are modeled to within ±0.3% of experiment on both critical and noncritical isotherms using a new theoretical treatment that includes: (i) the polarization of...

Field ionization of C2H5I doped into argon is presented as a function of argon number density along the argon critical isotherm. These data exhibit a decrease in the argon induced shift of the C2H5I ionization energy near the critical point similar to recent field ionization measurements of CH3I/Ar. We show that this decrease is due to the interaction between argon and the quasi-free electron a...

An inversion procedure is used to obtain from the extended principle of corresponding - states the pair interaction potentials for argon, krypton and its mixture over a tetnperature range from absolute zero to the onset of ionization. The experimentally-reduced viscosity collision integrals obtained from the corresponding - states correlation have been inverted directly to give the reduced...
