Electrons, quasifree

The solvated CO anion-radical has been observed and well characterized by ESR spectroscopy (Knight et al. 1996, Holroyd et al. 1997). Being solvated, CO anion-radical forms complexes that yield quasifree electrons on photoexcitation. Gas-phase experimental studies (Saeki et al. 1999) and ab initio calcnlations (Tsukuda et al. 1999) indicate that static ion-dipole interactions stabilize...

Figure 35 Electron transport, (a) Quasifree electrons, band mobility (b) trap-controlled band mobility (c) hopping transport.

In the nonpolar liquids exhibiting a high electron drift mobility, the condition Pef Pet is fulfilled. The trapped electrons can be considered as temporary negative ions and ions always have a much smaller mobility as compared to quasifree electrons. We may then neglect the second term of the r.h.s. of Equation 74 and obtain...
