Abstract
Neutron inelastic scattering techniques have been used to study the motion of NH4 + ions in NH4 + β-Alumina. The results strongly suggest jump rotational reorientation of the NH4 + ion between equivalent configurations. The translational diffusion coefficient of the NH4 + ion appears to be less than 2.5 × 10−6 cm2/sec at 473 K.
Research at Brookhaven National Laboratory performed under the auspices of the U.S. Energy Research and Dev. Admin.
