Abstract

The mean energy of ion pair formation in O2, N2, CO2, air, N2O, NO, and NO2 was experimentally determined. Verification of the procedure for determining the work of ionization from calculated stopping powers and ionization measurement data showed good agreement with published data. The mean energy of ion pair formation in NO (31.6 ± 0.1 eV) and NO2 (31.3 ± 0.2 eV) was determined for the first time.
