Mobility, Conduction, and Breakdown in Cryogenic Liquids: A Review

This paper represents a brief excursion into the considerable volume of literature on the electrical properties of cryogenic liquids. Sophisticated theoretical models of charge-motion are available which give fair agreement with experimental results but the situation with regard to breakdown is not so satisfactory. Even allowing for the amount of published work on these liquids the data on the impulse strength is conspicuous by its scarcity.
