Abstract
The ionic conductivity in liquid Ag–Se and Ag–Te systems has been measured using a residual potential technique. The ionic conductivity in the liquid Ag–Se system exhibits a local maximum at the stoichiometric composition of Ag 2 Se. This maximum decreases rapidly with increasing temperature. The liquid Ag–Te system has also a higher value of the ionic conductivity around the composition of Ag 2 Te, but a clear maximum as in the case of Ag–Se system cannot be observed even at lower temperatures. This may be considered to reflect a higher Ag + mobility at Ag 2 Se just after melting. Such the difference of the ionic conduction near the melting point between both liquid systems, and in particular the unusual temperature dependence of ionic conductivity in the liquid Ag–Se system, could be due to the deference of the structural environment of Ag + in the system. The structural analysis of liquid Ag 2 Se and Ag 2 Te focusing on the environmental structure around Ag + has been made employing neutron structure f...
