Ionization of liquids by radiation: measurement by a clearing field.
A method has been developed for determining the yield of free ions formed by irradiation of a liquid with high-energy x-rays. Contrary to expectation, branched-chain paraffins produce many more free ions than straight-chain paraffins do, and the ether 1,4-dioxane produced only a third as many free ions as its hydrocarbon analog, cyclohexane.
