The quasi-ballistic model of electron transport in liquid hydrocarbons, introduced earlier by the author [A. Mozumder, Chem. Phys. Lett. 207 (1993) 245], has been extended to the field dependence of mobility, when the zero-field mobility is low. A sinh-type dependence is obtained, due mainly to the random direction of detrapping relative to the field. The length parameter is interpreted as the trap radius', in contradistinction to the jump length of the hopping model. Experimental data have been examined for six liquid hydrocarbons and a speculation is offered regarding the nature of the electron trap. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
