In our transverse diffusion measurements of Na+ ions in He and several other ion-neutral pairs, appreciable longitudinal end effects were detected for sufficiently high values of E÷N, the ratio of electric field to neutral gas number density. Systematic measurements at various drift length and analysis reveal that these end effects are generally more pronounced for ion-neural pairs with very low or very high mass ratio. They can be either positive or negative and their magnitudes can be quantified by a simple linear relationship of the transverse ion current density profile with drift length. | Source Title: | Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/96569 | ISSN: | 00223727 | DOI: | 10.1088/0022-3727/27/1/012 |
