Abstract
Experiments are described which add evidence to the hypothesis that impurities introduced from the ambient atmosphere are necessary for the nucleation of the precipitation of the excess metal in superstaturated solutions of alkali halides. Potassium chloride single crystals were used, and the effects of impurities on X- and F-center formation are examined.
The Radiation Laboratory is operated by the University of Notre Dame under contract with the Atomic Energy Commission. This is AEC Document number C00-38-543.
