Analysis of self-trapped hole mobility in alkali halides and metal halides

Complex metal halides in fused alkali nitrates

The results of this investigation have provided additional information by chemical methods of the extent of association in fused salts. Association effects observed in solubility and rate studies in fused alkali nitrate are shown to be consistent with the assumption that complex ions such as those existing in aqueous solutions are formed between metal ions and halide ions. In addition, the rate...

Alkali metal actinide complex halides : thermochemical and structural considerations

— The present status of our information on the thermodynamics of the actinide halogeno-complexes with alkali metal ions is reviewed, with special emphasis on chloroand bromo-derivatives. Where enough thermodynamic and structural data are available, attempts are made to deduce the evolution of the energetics of the actinide-halogen bonds along a series of isomorphous or analogous compounds. The ...

Excitons and Radiation Damage in Alkali Halides

The quantum mechanical description of atomic spectra was the beginning of a new era of quantum physics which today is the theoretical basis of nuclear and solid state physics, chemistry, and biochemistry [1,2]. Quantum mechanics opened also a new look to solid state physics which will be illustrated by the development of the conception of excitons [3]. One of the basic quantum mechanical proble...

Multiple - Scattering XAFS Analysis and Thermal Expansion of Alkali Halides

X-ray-absorption ne structure (XAFS) data of RbBr, RbCl and KBr at 30 K and 125 K were measured and analysed. An ionized atom multiple-scattering (MS) calculation and a correlated Debye model were used for tting FEFF5 theory to data. The modiications of FEFF5 necessary to obtain good ts to the data are discussed. The results demonstrate the domination of single-scattering and focusing paths in ...
