Smoke-chamber experiments have been carried out to determine the electric charge distributions and the constants descriptive of coagulation and surface loss of aerosols of porous silica powder, magnesium oxide and ammonium chloride. The data obtained were used to test the hypothesis that the rate of coagulation is affected by the electric charge distribution. Calculations have been made of the effect of electric charges on the particles of an aerosol on its rate of coagulation due to Brownian movement, differences in gravitational settling and turbulence. A simple expression for the coagulation constant was obtained which was found to be a function of the fraction of positive particles, the fraction of negative particles, the average particle charge of each sign and the average radius. A more exact treatment of ageing data than has previously been presented indicated a possible variation in the coagulation and surface loss constants with time, and this variation has been shown to be related to changes in the electric charge distribution.

It is well known that for reflections corresponding to large interplanar spacings (i.e., sin θ/λ small), the electron scattering amplitude, f, is sensitive to the ionicity and to the charge distribution around the atoms. We have used this in order to obtain information about the charge distribution in FeTi, which is a candidate for storage of hydrogen. Our goal is to study the changes in electron distribution in the presence of hydrogen, and also the ionicity of hydrogen in metals, but so far our study has been limited to pure FeTi. FeTi has the CsCl structure and thus Fe and Ti scatter with a phase difference of π into the 100-ref lections. Because Fe (Z = 26) is higher in the periodic system than Ti (Z = 22), an immediate “guess” would be that Fe has a larger scattering amplitude than Ti. However, relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations show that the opposite is the case for the 100-reflection. An explanation for this may be sought in the stronger localization of the d-electrons of the first row transition elements when moving to the right in the periodic table. The tabulated difference between fTi (100) and ffe (100) is small, however, and based on the values of the scattering amplitude for isolated atoms, the kinematical intensity of the 100-reflection is only 5.10-4 of the intensity of the 200-reflection.
