Molecular polarizability as a basis for energy partitioning estimates in ordinary radiolysis

Independent assessments of relative energy depositions in mixtures based upon low velocity proton stopping cross sections or upon radiolytic ionization yields suggest that the effective energy deposition during radiolysis is proportional to molecular polarizability. The results indicate that energy...

Summary:Independent assessments of relative energy depositions in mixtures based upon low velocity proton stopping cross sections or upon radiolytic ionization yields suggest that the effective energy deposition during radiolysis is proportional to molecular polarizability. The results indicate that energy partitioning estimates based upon the Simple Mixture Law will be grossly inaccurate in systems containing halocarbons or rare gases.
