Tavora and C. A. N. Conde, "Experimental Measurement of the Ne+ and Ne+2 Mobilities in Ne and the Reaction Rate Coefficient for Ne++2Ne→Ne+2+Ne ," in IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, vol. 58, no. 4, pp. 2060-2063, Aug. 2011, doi: 10.1109/TNS.2011.2158849.0018-9499http://hdl.handle.net/10400.8/15506We measured the reduced mobilities of the atomic, Ne+, and dimer, Ne2+, ions in Ne, under different pressures and reduced electric fields, at 300 K. Extrapolation to zero field yields values of 4.4 cm2 V-1 s-1 for Ne+ and 6.2 cm2 V-1 s-1 for Ne2+, which are in relative good agreement with other published data. The Ne+ ions are converted to Ne2+ by a three-body reaction with a rate constant that was also measured. Its average value for reduced electric fields in the 8 to 12 Td range was (5.6 ± 0.1) × 10-32 cm6 s-1 at 300 K, also agreeing with the results from other authors using other techniques.engIon mobilityneonreaction rate constantjournal article10.1109/tns.2011.2158849
