Electrical Mobility Behavior of Nanoparticle Fractal Agglomerates in the Slip Regime

For diffusion limited cluster agglomerates the ratio of the mobility radius to the radius of gyration vs. N and the ratio of the mobility radius to the radius of primary particle /a are determined using experimental data obtained with DMA-APM and tandem DMA over a range of Knudsen numbers extending into the transition region where there is a lack of data. It was found that in slip regime with the number of primary particles between 100 and 400, datapoints are found to be between the two asymptotic lines for the continuum and free molecular regimes as those datapoints are plotted in both vs. N and /a vs. N.
