Abstract:
The time evolution of electron mean energy (Te) in the bicomponent systems of Kr and some simple molecules: H2, D2, N2, CO, and CO2, at room temperature (Tg) has been observed by means of a pulse-radiolysis microwave-conductivity method. The excess electron temperature, Te–Tg, in a near thermal energy region decays exponentially with time. An observed decay lifetime is defined as an electron thermalization time. From the effect of the addition of a simple molecular gas to Kr on an electron thermalization time, the product (in unit of 1014 μs⋅cm−3) of a gas number density and a thermalization time for each pure additive molecule is obtained to be (3.3±1.2)×102 for H2, (3.4±1.2)×102 for D2, (2.3±0.3)×102 for N2, 8.9±3.0 for CO, and 2.5±0.3 for CO2, respectively.
