Abstract

The sublimation of praseodymium tribromide under Knudsen and Langmuir conditions was studied by high-temperature mass spectrometry over the temperature range 804–957 K. During sublimation from the open surface of a single crystal, the sublimation coefficient of PrBr3 changed abruptly at the polymorphic transition point (UCl3-type low-temperature polymorph-PuBr3-type high-temperature polymorph, T= 934 ± 3 K). The change was reproducible in the heating-cooling cycles.
