The motion of electrons in SF6 in uniform electric fields is simulated using a Monte Carlo technique for the range of reduced electric fields 100≤E/p≤180 V cm−1 Torr−1. The swarm parameters evaluated are compared with the experimental results of drift velocity, ratio of diffusion coefficient to mobility, ionization, and attachment coefficients. The electron-molecule collision cross sections adopted in the simulation result in a good agreement with the experimental values over the range of E/p investigated.
Reports electron swarm parameters in SF6 in uniform E*B fields employing a Monte Carlo simulation technique. The parameters studied are transverse and perpendicular drift velocities, magnetic deflection angle, collision frequency, mean energy and effective ionization coefficients for 30
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
