Notes:
The electron drift mobility μ has been measured in CH3OH gas in the temperature range 303≤T≤363 K and in the number density range 2.4×1017≤n≤2.1×1019 cm−3. It is usually assumed—although there is no foundation for it—that at such low gas densities the "zero-field'' density-normalized mobility (μn) does not depend on n, i.e. it can be described by the so-called Lorentz single collision approximation [see, e.g., N. Gee and G. R. Freeman, Can. J. Chem. 61, 1664 (1983)]. We observed, however, a density dependence of (μn) which can be explained approximately in terms of coherent and incoherent multiple scattering corrections where the coherent contribution due to correlations between the scatterers predominates at lower temperatures. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
