Mobilities of polyatomic molecular ions in He gas

Abstract

The mobilities of polyatomic molecular ions in He gas, measured at 83 and 306 K using a low-temperature drift tube, were smaller than the polarization limit K pol. The mobilities of atomic or small molecular ions tended to show a bump at intermediate reduced field, and then approach the polarization limit at low reduced field; however, the measured mobilities of polyatomic molecular ions were different. We compared the experimental mobilities with values calculated using the MOBCAL program, and found that they agreed well.
