Effects of Eu++ on the Mechanical Properties of KCl
Abstract
This study is concerned with the effect of divalent impurities on the mechanical properties alkali halides. The primary objective is to determine the strengthening of KCl single crystals as a function of the concentration of divalent impurity-vacancy pairs. The divalent impurity used is Eu++ and the concentration analysis of this ion in the crystal constituted a major problem in this study.
