(IOP Publishing, 2018-03-28) Santos, M. A.G.; Kaja, Magdalena A.; Cortez, André F.V.; Neves, Pedro N.B.; Santos, Filomena P.; Borges, F. I.G.M.; Conde, Carlos A.N.; Veenhof, Robert J.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Fizik Bölümü.; 6603742499
In this paper we present the results of the ion mobility measurements made in pure carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) and gaseous mixtures of argon with carbon tetrafluoride (Ar-CF4) for pressures ranging from 6 to 10 Torr (8-10.6 mbar) and for low reduced electric fields in the 10 Td to 25 Td range (2.4-6.1 kV center dot cm(-1)center dot bar(-1)), at room temperature. The time of arrival spectra revealed only one peak throughout the entire range studied which was attributed to CF3+. However, for Ar concentrations above 70%, a bump starts to appear at the left side of the main peak for reduced electric fields higher than 15 Td, which was attributed to impurities. The reduced mobilities obtained from the peak centroid of the time-of-arrival spectra are presented for Ar concentrations in the 5%-95% range.
Experimental ion mobility measurements in Ar-N2
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2018-10-12) Santos, M. A.G.; Cortez, André F.V.; Perdigoto, J. M.C.; Escada, J.; Neves, P. N. B.; Santos, F. P.; Conde, C. A. N.; Borges, F. I. G. M.; Veenhof, Robert J.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Fizik Bölümü.; 6603742499
Data on ion mobility is important to improve the performance of large volume gaseous detectors, since the detector signal can be influenced by the drift of the ions, namely in the cases where charge multiplication is used, for example in Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPCs) and in some Time Projection Chambers (TPCs). In the present work the results for the ion mobility measurements in Ar-N-2 mixtures are presented, using an experimental setup and method already tested in previous work. The results for this mixture show the presence of only one peak for all gas ratios of Ar-N-2, for reduced electric fields, E/N, in the range of 10-25 Td (2.4-6.1 kV.cm(-1).bar(-1)), and 8 Torr (10.6 mbar) pressure, at room temperature.
Experimental ion mobility measurements in Xe-CF4 mixtures
(IOP Publishing, 2018-04) Cortez, André F.V.; Kaja, Magdalena A.; Escada, J. M.D.; Santos, M. A.G.; Neves, Pedro N.B.; Santos, Filomena P.; Borges, F. I.G.M.; Conde, Carlos A.N.; Veenhof, Robert J.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Fizik Bölümü.; 6603742499
In this paper we present the results of the ion mobility measurements made in gaseous mixtures of xenon with carbon tetrafluoride (Xe-CF4) for pressures ranging from 6 to 10 Torr (8-10.6 mbar) and for low reduced electric fields in the 10 to 25 Td range (2.4-6.1 kV.cm(-1).bar(-1)), at room temperature. The time-of-arrival spectra revealed one or two peaks depending on the gas relative abundances, which were attributed to CF3+ and to Xe-2(+) ions. However, for Xe concentrations above 60%, only one peak remains (Xe-2(+)). The reduced mobilities obtained from the peak centroid of the time-of-arrival spectra are presented for Xe concentrations in the 5%-95% range.

Data on ion mobility is important to improve the performance of large volume gaseous detectors. In the present work the method, experimental setup and results for the ion mobility measurements in Xe-CO2 mixtures are presented. The results for this mixture show the presence of only one peak for all gas ratios of Xe-CO2, low reduced electric fields, E/N, 10-25 Td (2.4-6.1 kV·cm-1·bar-1), low pressures 6-8 Torr (8-10.6 mbar), at room temperature.
