Abstract

Electron drift velocities were measured for argon gas mixtures containing 25 ppm to 0.5% boron trichloride additive using a pulsed-Townsend drift tube. These results show a marked sensitivity to mixture ratio and the gas mixtures also show negative differential conductivity and strong attachment at low electric field/gas number density.
