Silver Diffusion and Isotope Effect in Silver-Rubidium-Iodide

Abstract

dc:description

The diffusion coefficient of silver in silver rubidium iodide (RbAg(,4)I(,5)) has been measured in both superionic phases using radiotracer Ag-110m and serial sectioning with a low temperature sectioning apparatus. The activation energies for diffusion in alpha-RbAg(,4)I(,5) and beta-RbAg(,4)I(,5), respectively, are .11 (+OR-) .01 eV and .20 (+OR-) .04 eV. These values are the same, within experimental error, as the observed activation energies for conduction.
