Responses of an Electron Capture Detector to Some Inert, Non-Toxic Low Molecular Weight Compounds
Abstract
Materials capable of scavenging ambient electrons have found application in gaseous dielectrics, in ionospheric electron depletion, and as inhibitors of some of the chemical reactions following radiolysis. Responses of a tritium-based electron-capture detector are measured in order to determine what compounds are effective scavengers, particularly those that are inert, non- toxic and of low molecular weight. A detailed description is given of the apparatus. A new material, comparable in effect to sulfur hexafluoride is perchloryl fluoride.
