Special attention has been paid to the influence of the nature of the electrolyte (KNO3, KCl, K2SO4, LiCl, CsCl, and the nitrates of Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+). It appears that the electrical double layer on haematite has properties between those of silver iodide and mercury and those on silica.","PeriodicalId":11262,"journal":{"name":"Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"44 1","pages":"324-333"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80603243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of the (log10I,ƒ(1/T)), curves showed a kink and lead to two Ea values. For high temperatures the compensation law was fulfilled and a single value of the parameters α and β was calculated for all the PPhCh investigated. The characteristic temperature Tc does not correspond to the Tk value, nor do the Ea values correspond to the 1E1 value of the repeating unit. It is probable that the Ea values are modified by trap levels distributed throughout the sample. In support of this view, the dependence of Ea on voltage was investigated, and the trap density for unit energy was found. The magnetic properties, i.e., the susceptibility χ0 related to free carriers, depend on polymer structure. The χ0 values decrease with decrease of donor polarity and increase when the electron affinity of acceptors increases, thus enhancing the electrical conductivity.","PeriodicalId":11262,"journal":{"name":"Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"163 1","pages":"144-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74798278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For high-surface area solids (>100m2/g) a noticeable fraction of the cations and oxygen anions are in the first or the two first surface layers so that the averaged structure parameters obtained from these methods integrate the bulk and the surface organization. Assuming that the defects in the bulk and on the surface are comparable, it should be possible to correlate surface properties, such as the acid properties, with the nature of these defects. Moreover, if some quantitative agreements appear between e.g., the total number of defects and the number of surface acid sites of some sorts, the defects concentrations on the surface phase might be related to the total number of defects. The two above assumptions seem to be acceptable. The three main structure defects appear to be (i) the aluminium cations substituting silicon cations in tetrahedral coordination; (ii) aluminium cations in a perturbed tetrahedral arrangement and (iii) silicon in a perturbed tetrahedral arrangement. In these perturbed tetrahedral arrangements, one at least among the four oxygens might be displaced, exposing partially the cations to the outside. In aluminas, defects of type (ii) are the most probable; they are related to the Lewis acidity. In silico-aluminas, throughout the range of composition, 0 0.5, defects of type (iii) could provide a new source of Lewis acidity. These observations are supported by the variations in the catalytic cracking properties. Defects of type (ii) are also probable in the composition range 0.3 0.6. Also infra-red spectroscopic features of adsorbed NH3 seem to confirm these deductions.","PeriodicalId":11262,"journal":{"name":"Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"100 1","pages":"98-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74827946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The large spreading of the measured adsorption sequences, especially at extreme pH values, proved the coagulation technique to be a good tool for the study of ion-surface interactions. A new type of behaviour has been observed; at low surface potentials the ions behave as indifferent but at higher surface potentials they are specifically adsorbed.","PeriodicalId":11262,"journal":{"name":"Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"271 1","pages":"352-360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81331898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The energy band structures of both excess electrons and holes in coronene consist of two sets of energy bands, corresponding to the two degenerate molecular energy levels of the free molecule, which exhibit a high degree of anisotropy with an average width of 0.05 eV. The energy dependence on the wave vector for k parallel to b* has several unusual features. The behaviour can, however, be understood in terms of energy band-energy band interactions. Minimum values of the mobility, calculated such that the uncertainty principle is not violated, are ca. 5 cm2/V s along the b* axis. The energy band structure of ovalene is comparatively simple, again showing a high degree of anisotropy and large bandwidths (0.1 eV). Minimum values of the mobility are of a similar order to those in coronene.","PeriodicalId":11262,"journal":{"name":"Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"24-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87148046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In silica not more than 0.1 w% Fe3+ could be dissolved, the remainder crystallizing as α-Fe2O3 on the surface.

Mn2+ ions almost exclusively occupy tetrahedral holes at the surface.
