The research focussed on the drift velocities and diffusion coefficients of electrons in nitrogen, hydrogen and helium. The drift velocity is the average Velocity that a particle such as an Electron, attains due to an Electric field. Fick's laws of diffusion describe Diffusion and can be used to solve for the diffusion coefficient D. The electron is a fundamental Subatomic particle that was identified and assigned the negative charge in 1897 by J Nitrogen (ˈnaɪtɹəʤɪn is a Chemical element that has the symbol N and Atomic number 7 and Atomic weight 14 Hydrogen (ˈhaɪdrədʒən is the Chemical element with Atomic number 1 Helium ( He) is a colorless odorless tasteless non-toxic Inert Monatomic Chemical
