Abstract

Ammonium alum crystals are colored electrolytically below 0°C and under various voltages using a pointed anode and a flat cathode. SO2−, O3−, O2−, O− hole-trapped centers and O0, O2−, H+ radicals are produced in colored ammonium alum crystals. The absorption bands of the SO2− and O3− hole-trapped centers are observed in the absorption spectra of the colored ammonium alum crystals. The hole-trapped centers and radicals come mainly from the electric-field-induced decomposition of the SO42− radicals and crystalline water molecules. Current is measured during electrolytic coloration. Electron exchanges from electrons and small charged radicals to electrodes induce complete current.
