Protonic conduction in totally deuterated ammonium dihydrogen phosphate

The conductivity of deuterated ammonium dihydrogen phosphate single crystals was measured as a function of temperature. Crystals doped with deuterated NH 4HSO 4 were also studied. The results parallel those for NH 4H 2PO 4 to the extent that defects in the hydrogen-bond network give rise to the cond...

Summary:The conductivity of deuterated ammonium dihydrogen phosphate single crystals was measured as a function of temperature. Crystals doped with deuterated NH 4HSO 4 were also studied. The results parallel those for NH 4H 2PO 4 to the extent that defects in the hydrogen-bond network give rise to the conductivity. One difference in the results for the two crystals is the temperature which marks the onset of a high temperature conductivity distinguished by plotting log σT versus 1 T and observing a break in the straight line. This break temperature is different for the hydrogen versus the deuterated crystal in NH 4H 2PO 4 as it is for other isomorphous salts.
