SUMMARY A new procedure to obtain the time‐resolved energy distribution of electrons in gas under a static electric field, the PT‐FTI method, has been developed taking the circulation flow rate distribution through the loop of a flight and a collision as the principal unknown function. Iterative operations of two‐dimensional loop dispersion functions in the time and energy domains to an initial starting energy distribution give a series of time‐dependent flow rate distributions in successive circulations. The time‐resolved energy distribution and transport quantities of electrons in flight are derived from them. The fact that the PT‐FTI method gives converging results the same as obtained in the FTI method assures the validity of both the PT‐FTI and FTI methods. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
