The effect of molecular structure on the density dependence of electron mobility and conduction band energy in nonpolar fluids

Abstract

The conduction band energy Vo and the electron mobility u in n-, isobutane (n-C4, i-C4), n- and isopentane (n-C5, i-C5) fluids were measured as a function of density N in order to examine the effect of molecular structure on the electronic behaviour in nonpolar fluids. Vo values were determined by photoelectric work function measurements. u values were determined by a time-of-flight methods. The apparatus and procedure for measurements and sample purification technique were described in detail elsewhere[1, 2].
