Mobilities of Li+ in Ne and in N-2 and Na+ in SF6 - Effect of Inelastic Energy-Loss
Ion mobility measurements were made for Li+ in Ne and in N, and Na+ in SF6 using a variable-temperature drift tube. The measurements were made by two different methods : variable-E/N method at constant T and variable-T method at constant E/N, where E, N, and T are the electric field strength, the gas number density, and the gas temperature, respectively. Two datasets were compared at the same effective temperature T-eff, as calculated from the Wannier equation. For Li+ in Ne, the two datasets are put on a single curve in the range 150 K
