Abstract
Excess electron drift velocities, w, as a function of the applied electric field, E, have been measured in liquid 2,2—dimethylpropane (ТMС), tetramethylsilane (TMS), tetramethylgermanium (TMG), tetramethyltin (ТMТ), 2,2,4,4—tetramethyypentane (ТMР), mixtures of TMS with TMP and n—pentane and in TMC, TMS, and ТMР vapors. Our findings on the electron transport and the electrical properties of these liquids/vapors are discussed.
