Electrical Conductivity in NH\u3csub\u3e4\u3c/sub\u3eCl and ND\u3csub\u3e4\u3c/sub\u3eCl Single Crystals

Abstract

Electrical conductivity measurements are reported for normal and deuterated ammonium chloride single crystals in the temperature regions which characterize the pure and the impurity-dominated materials. We conclude from the data that conductivity in ammonium chloride is due to the formation of either cation or anion vacancies and a subsequent process controlled by a proton transfer. Our results are found to be consistent with a model proposed by Herrington and Staveley
