Photoconductivity spectra of trapped electrons in γ-irradiated 3-methylpentane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylheptane, and 3-methylpentane–methylcyclohexane (1:9 volume ratio) glasses at 77 K were measured. From the comparison of photoconductivity and optical absorption spectra in these systems we have obtained relative values of quantum efficiencies for a trapped electron in the ground state to be excited to the conduction band by photo-induced transition. For electrons stably trapped, we have measured the ranges of trap depths from the shallowest to the deepest in these systems.

Optimised stellarators and other magnetic-confinement devices having the property that the average magnetic curvature is favourable for all particle orbits are called maximum-$J$ devices. They have recently been shown to be immune to trapped-particle instabilities driven by the density gradient. Gyrokinetic simulations reveal, however, that another instability can arise, which is also associated with particle trapping but causes less transport than typical trapped-electron modes. The nature of this instability is clarified here. It is shown to be similar to the ‘ubiquitous mode’ in tokamaks and is driven by ion free energy, but requires trapped electrons to exist.

In a tokamak, trapped electrons subject to a strong electric field cannot run away immediately, because their parallel velocity does not increase over a bounce period. However, they do pinch toward the tokamak center. As they pinch toward the center, the trapping cone becomes more narrow, so eventually they can be detrapped and run away. When they run away, trapped electrons will have a very different signature from circulating electrons subject to the Dreicer mechanism. The characteristics of what are called trapped-electron runaways are identified and quantified, including their distinguishable perpendicular velocity spectrum and radial extent.

A study has been made of trapped electrons in n-propanol–hydrocarbon mixture glasses at 77 K by the optical absorption method. The yields of electrons trapped in alcohol clusters (ealc−) were measured for several γ-irradiated n-propanol–hydrocarbon glasses, where the yields of trapped electrons in these neat hydrocarbon glasses at 77 K are known to range from 0.015 to 1.1 G units. The results show that the yields of ealc– in the mixture glasses do not depend on the trapped electron yields in neat hydrocarbon glasses. Thus, it is concluded that electron migration from relaxed hydrocarbon matrix traps into alcohol clusters is not the major process for ealc− formation in the systems studied here. The major process for ealc− formation may be attributed to quasi-free electron scavenging by alcohol clusters and electron migration from unrelaxed hydrocarbon traps into alcohol clusters. Both ir-induced and isothermal changes in the ealc− yield have also been investigated. These investigations indicate that there is a correlation between the observed change in the ealc− yield and the matrix viscosity.

Trapped electron yields were measured by means of optical absorption spectroscopy for a hydrocarbon glass γ-irradiated at 77 K in the presence of an external electric field. It was observed that the yield of trapped electrons increased in the presence of an external electric field as compared with that in the absence of an external electric field. The experimental results were analyzed theoretically and interpreted as due to overall effects involving changes in geminate recombination times which were caused by an external electric field.

An electron spin resonance (e.s.r.) and photoconductivity study has been made of the effect of dose on the yield of trapped electrons in -γ-irradiated aliphatic amine glasses at 77 °K. It is shown that the effect of dose on the trapped electron yield can be correlated with matrix polarity.
