Abstract

A radiometric method that permits to follow, in real time, the kinetics of crystals growth:134CsClO4;134CsHC4H4O6;134Cs2CrO4;134Cs2[PtCl6] and134Cs[AgI2], in gelatin medium is presented. Constants of the diffusion of134Cs+ radioactive ions through gel and of the reaction between this cation and anions under study, leading to the formation of crystals were calculated. An approximately invesely proportional ratio was found between the rate of nucleation and the solubility of the crystal.
