Effect of admixture of silver on the rectifying properties of Cu−Cu2O cells

  • Published:
Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The effect of including silver in copper blocks on which rectifying layers of Cu2O are formed is determined experimentally. The rectification is maximum for 71/2% Ag when the temperature of formation of the layer is 800° C., but if the temperature of formation is 850° C. the maximum rectification is obtained with 6% Ag inclusion. It appears that the rectification is probably poverned by statistical laws.
