AbstractIn the alkali halides a linear dependence is found between the values of crystal ionicity, spectroscopically determined, and crystal properties such as interatomic distances, potential energy and amplitudes of atomic vibration. Such a correlation appears to allow a quantitative prediction of coefficients of thermal expansion and amplitudes of thermal vibrations of the atoms.

AbstractMany authors have used propagation of ultrasonic waves in ice for glaciological studies. This propagation is characterized by the velocity of sound and by the attenuation of stress waves. In crystalline materials, these two characteristics depend on structural slate. In particular plastic deformation gives velocity and attenuation variations.We have measured the sound velocity and attenuation of ultrasonic waves in strained specimens of ice (single crystals and polycrystals). These measurements done between 100 and 273 K at a frequency of 5 MHz show that plastic deformation leads to an increase of attenuation arid an increase of velocity. Annealing treatments at 271 K cause recovery of propagation characteristics. The variation in attenuation can be interpreted by the theory of dislocations and this interpretation is supported by our data on the influence of frequency on this increase of attenuation induced by plastic deformation, but the theory of dislocations implies a decrease of modulus, i.e. of velocity, hence we must postulate that an added phenomenon screens the effect of dislocations. That phenomenon could be connected with ageing effects observed on different physical properties of ire and may be due to modification of protonic arrangement or creation of interstitials during plastic deformation. Thus our experiments show that it is necessary to be careful in using results determined from the propagation of ultrasonic waves in ice.

The principal object of the investigation was to ascertain whether the values of the moduli of torsional and longitudinal elasticities, as determined by statical methods, would be the same as when determined by kinetical methods, provided the deformations produced were very small.

Mixtures of trivalent metal halides with alkali halides are involved in many technologies but, from a more fundamental and general perspective, are worthy of study as interesting systems in which to examine the relationship between atomic-scale structure and physical properties. Here we examine the relationship between the viscosity and local and longer range structural measures in such mixtures where the trivalent metal cations span a significant size range and exhibit different behaviours in the dependence of their viscosity on the mixture composition. We characterise the structure and dynamics of the first coordination shell and the relationship between its structural relaxation time and the shear relaxation time of the mixture (the Maxwell relaxation time). We are then led to an examination of the structure of the networks which progressively form between the trivalent metal cations as their concentration increases in the mixtures. Here we find significant differences between small and larger cations, sufficient to explain the different behaviour of their viscosities. We draw attention to the similarities and differences of these networks with those which form in highly viscous, glass-forming materials like BeF2:LiF.

We owe to Wertheim a series of carefully executed experiments on the longitudinal elasticity of metals both by statical extension and by longitudinal and transverse vibrations. Prom these researches it would appear that the values of the moduli of longitudinal elasticity as determined for several metals by the first of these three methods are, as might be expected, less than those obtained by the other two. The differences, however, are very much greater than can be accounted for by the heating and cooling effects of contraction and elongation, and the author has already pointed out what he believes to have been in a great measure the cause of these discrepancies.

Molten alkali halides can be regarded as model ionic systems. Physical properties of molten alkali halides and their mixtures depending on molar volume and temperature are considered. The properties under examination are divided into two groups: cation-dependent and anion-dependent ones. The character of property changes with temperature and molar volume is different for these groups.
