Transport properties of ions in gases

Ion transport in gases is characterized, with an emphasis on recent theoretical analyses. Chapters are devoted to the measurement of drift velocities and longitudinal diffusion coefficients, the measurement of transverse diffusion coefficients, stationary afterglow techniques, the kinetic theory of mobility and diffusion, the accuracy of recent theoretical results, interaction potentials and transport coefficients, and special topics and applications of the theory. Diagrams, drawings, graphs, and extensive tables of numerical data are included.
