Abstract
Hydrogen treatment of alkali halide crystals doped with silver halide leads to a partial reduction of the silver ions. The fact that the reaction is incomplete appears not to be due to a chemical equilibrium but to a factor inherent in the crystal.Experiments with alkali halides, doped with Ag+ and divalent ions, show that the concentration of metallic silver formed is determined by the anion vacancy concentration. This fact is interpreted in terms of the agglomeration of silver atoms and vacancies.
