Abstract
There is no doubt of the existence of the B3 polytype of Agl. Both the B3 and B4 phases of Agl transform into the B23 phase around 145 °C; there is no evidence for the B3 →B4 transformation. The phase transitions of Agl, AgBr, and AgCl can be satisfactorily explained on the basis of the Born treatment of ionic solids. About 10 moles % AgBr enters into solid solution with the B3, B4, or B23 phase of Agl; about 25% Agl enters into solid solution with the B1 form of AgBr. We have reported the phase transitions of the Agl–AgBr solid solutions and a partial phase diagram of the system. The Born model explains the stability of the B1 form of the solid solution above ca. 10% AgBr.
