Abstract:The exchange reaction between zinc metal and zinc ions in solution has been studied by means of radioactive zinc-65. Polycrystalline zinc and bicrystals of zinc were used under conditions where the radioactive material was incorporated either in the solid or the liquid phase. Strain-free clean surfaces were obtained and autoradiographs taken.The results of the experiments using bicrystals were interpreted on the basis that a local cell action sets up an electrochemical potential between liquid and solid a t th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
