Abstract
Using electrical conductivity as a probe, the effect of crystal temperature on the process of adsorption and desorption of some chemical vapours on retinoic acid semiconductor has been investigated. It has been observed that a three-stage adsorption process in a sample at low temperature changes over to a two-stage process at higher temperature. Measures of activation energies of adsorption and desorption at different stages have been estimated from kinetic data analysis by using a modified Roginsky-Zeldovich equation.
