Viehland–Mason theory

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Viehland–Mason theory is a two-temperature

Gram–Charlier probability function as a zero-order approximation to the ion velocity
distribution function.

The Gram–Charlier theory has been remarkably successful in producing calculated mobilities and

diatomic
gases and for non-vibrating diatomic ions in atomic or non-vibrating diatomic gases have been developed.
