Abstract

An approximate method for calculating drift velocity and other kinetic coefficients of heavy ions in a light gas is generalized to gaseous mixtures. Obtained equations are used to calculate the mobilities of \({\text{O}}_{4}^{ - }\) and \({\text{O}}_{2}^{ - }\) ions, as well as rate constants for inelastic ion–molecule processes with these ions in helium with small additions of O2 under an electric field. Calculated results are compared with the results of Monte Carlo simulation. Simple approximate methods allow good agreement to be reached with more complicated Monte Carlo simulation when describing the strong effect of small O2 concentrations on the ion kinetic properties in He and to shorten computational time by orders of magnitude.
