Abstract
Published measurements of the electrical conductivity of silver chloride containing appreciable amounts of cadmium in solid solution are re-examined. It is demonstrated that there is no significant association between cationic vacancies and cadmium ions, and that the conductivity arising from the mobility of cationic vacancies is augmented by a conduction mechanism which is, to a first approximation, unaffected by the concentration of cadmium. Vacancy mobilities in the temperature range 150°-350°C are calculated.
