Abstract
The diffusion coefficient for thermal electrons in mercury vapour has been measured using the CavaIIeri electron density sampling technique. The result indicates that the average momentum transfer cross section for electrons is ~27 x 10−16 cm2, a result which favours previously derived cross sections from drift velocity data over recent theoretical calculations.Keywords
