Abstract

A comparative study of electrical conduction and emitted light in an atomic (Ar) and a molecular liquid (N₂) is presented as a function of various parameters. Spectroscopic analysis of emitted light in the range of 200-850 nm is used to measure the energy of the hot electrons in these liquids. A study was also carried out on dense gases as a function of the applied pressure. The authors discuss the electron swarm parameters deduced form these results in an attempt to explain the behavior of electrons in the gas-liquid phase transition
