Abstract
The motion of electrons in SF6 in uniform electric fields is simulated using a Monte Carlo technique for the range of reduced electric fields 100≤E/p≤180 V cm−1 Torr−1. The swarm parameters evaluated are compared with the experimental results of drift velocity, ratio of diffusion coefficient to mobility, ionization, and attachment coefficients. The electron‐molecule collision cross sections adopted in the simulation result in a good agreement with the experimental values over the range of E/p investigated.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
