Hydrodynamical equation for electron swarms
We study the long-time behaviour of light particles, for example an electron swarm in which Coulomb interactions are unimportant, subjected to an external field and elastic collisions with an inert neutral gas. The time evolution of the velocity and position distribution function is described by a linear Boltzmann equation (LBE). The small ratio of electron to neutral masses, , makes the energy...
متن کاملA scanning drift tube apparatus for spatiotemporal mapping of electron swarms.
A "scanning" drift tube apparatus, capable of mapping of the spatiotemporal evolution of electron swarms, developing between two plane electrodes under the effect of a homogeneous electric field, is presented. The electron swarms are initiated by photoelectron pulses and the temporal distributions of the electron flux are recorded while the electrode gap length (at a fixed electric field streng...
متن کاملGAS-PHASE ACIDITY OF SOME CARBOXYLIC ACIDS CALCULATED BY MNDO
Gas-phase acidities of 15 aliphatic carboxylic acids, X CH -,COOH, have been calculated using the MNDO method. Among the substituted groups exist the electron donor alkyl groups and electron acceptor halogens. The average error in acidity is within the experimental uncertainty of the data. Systematic errors have been found for the substituents which form internal hydrogen bondings. A reaso...
متن کاملChange of the tautomeric preference for radical cation of pyruvic acid. DFT studies in the gas phase
Keto-enol tautomerism was investigated for ionized pyruvic acid using the DFT(B3LYP) method and the larger basis sets [6-31++G(d,p), 6-311++G(3df, 3pd) and aug-cc-pVDZ]. Change of the tautomeric preference was observed when going from the neutral to ionized tautomeric mixture. Ionization favors the enolization process (ketoenol) of pyruvic acid, whereas the ketonization (ketoenol) is preferred ...
متن کاملSecondary Structure Effects on the Acidity of Histidine and Lysine-Based Peptides Model; A Theoretical Study
In this study, the effect of the secondary structure of the protein on the acid strength of three structures of random (R), alpha helix (α) and beta sheet (b) were investigated theoretically. These structures are related to the cationic amino acids of histidine and lysine in the polypeptide chain of eight-glycine residue. Computational methods at the HF, B3LYP, X3LYP and M05-2X levels in t...
