Abstract

The thermal electron mobility was found to increase with increasing temperature T for CH₄ and to decrease with T for C₂F₆. These findings can be understood on the basis of the momentum transfer cross section σ_m(ε{lunate}) of the two molecules and the effect of vibrational excitation on electron transport.
