Abstract

An equation is derived for the ionic conductivity of silver halide emulsion grains with dimensions comparable to the Debye length of intrinsic defects. The conductivity of the grains is shown to be inversely proportional to the grain size. The surface potential distribution depends on both the shape and size of the grains. The surface charge density, surface potential, and volume potential are estimated for octahedral, cubic, and tabular AgBr grains.
