Transport Properties in Alkali Azides.

Abstract

Crystalline defects and ionic transport in potassium and rubidium azide have been studied by measuring the electrical conductivity with an a.c. bridge technique and the diffusion of cations by a tracer sectioning technique. Methods were developed to grow large and excellent quality single crystals of KN3 and RbN3 by the Kyropolous and solution growth techniques respectively. They were characterized by the x-ray diffraction patterns. A method also has been developed to directly observe dislocations in these crystals for the first time.
