Ionic Conductivity in KC1-KBr Mixed Single Crystals
Abstract
The ionic conductivity of KCl-KBr mixed single crystals as a function of the composition and thermal treatment of the samples has been studied. The intrinsic activation energy minimized at the composition 50/50 mole % KCl-KBr, while the intrinsic conductivity reached a maximum at 67/33 mole % KBr-KCl. Quenching increased extrinsic conductivity over that of annealed samples except in compositions near 50/50 mole % KCl-KBr, where it decreased extrinsic conductivity. It also slightly increased intrinsic conductivity in all compositions. These effects are explained in terms of structural defects and impurities.
