Abstract
On the basis of a simplified statistical model, average concentrations of trapped free radicals condensed from a gaseous mixture are calculated. The trapped free radical concentration is obtained as a function of the free radical concentration in the gas and of the number of nearest neighbors in the solid. The mathematical problem presented by the model is solved rigorously in the one‐dimensional case (two nearest neighbors) and approximately for arbitrary numbers of nearest neighbors. Typical calculated percentages of trapped free radicals range from 14% for a simple cubic lattice to 10% for a face‐centered cubic lattice, when the solid is condensed from a completely dissociated gaseous mixture.Keywords
