Conclusions
On the basis of measurements of values ofμ′τ′ in liquid hydrocarbons, it has been shown that the path length before localization of a photoliberated electron increases with increasing mobilityμ of the excess electron, from approximately 40 Å (methylcyclohexane) to 200 Å (isooctane). In a liquid withμ10−2 cm2/V·sec (methylcyclohexane, hexane), the localization takes place before or immediately after thermalization of the electron. In a liquid withμ>10−1 cm2/V·sec, the electron passes through the main part of its path before localization, being in thermal equilibrium with the medium.
