The phase transitions occurring in AgI containing dissolved CdI2 have been examined by differential thermal analysis (DTA), electrical conductivity technique, and X-ray diffractometry. The electrical conductivity and polymorphic behavior of AgI is significantly modified by low concentrations of CdI2. The results are interpreted in terms of substitutional Cd2+ and Ag+ vacancies in AgI sublattice.
