Mass Spectrometric Studies of Mobilities, Diffusion, and Reactions of Ions in Gases.
Abstract
A long term research program has been continued, utilizing a Drift Tube Mass Spectrometer apparatus for basic studies of the drift velocities and mobilities, the diffusion coefficients, and the rates of reactions of low-energy ions in gases. Encouraging progress has been made in the current period toward the extension of the data analysis capability to include situations where a pair of ion species are coupled by a reversible reaction having arbitrary rates in either direction. In pure carbon monoxide, the primary ion CO(+) and the secondary dimer ion CO.CO+ constitute a typical such pair of species. A very detailed experimental study of this case has been underway to evaluate and confirm the extended analysis. (Author)
