Transactions of the Japan Institute of Metals, Vol. 25, No. 10 (1984), pp. 692 to 697 Ionic and Positive Hole Conductivities of Solid Magnesium and Strontium Sulfides* By Hiroaki Nakamura**, Youichi Ogawa**, Koki Gunji† and Akira Kasahara** The electrical conductivity of MgS and SrS disks carefully prepared to avoid any contamination has been measured at temperatures from 973 to 1223 K and in the Ps2 range from 10-10 to 104 Pa. Because the conductivity was independent of sulfur pressure in the low sulfer pressure range, it was concluded that MgS and SrS may be ionic conductors. The specific conductivity can be expressed as follows; and the apparent activation energy for the conduction of MgS and SrS is 218 kJ/mol and 180 kJ/mol, respectively. However, in the high sulfur pressure range, the specific conductivity of both sulfides increases with an increase in sulfur pressure, suggesting the positive hole conduction. (ReceivedApril 23, 1984) Keywords: magnesium sulfide, strontium sulfide, electrical conductivity, sulfur pressure, ionic conduction, hole conduction, activation energy, alternating current bridge, polarization and strontium were very carefully prepared . Introduction and served for the measurement of electrical conductivity in a wide range of sulfur partial Sulfides have been paid attention to as solid pressure. Potentiostatic polarization was also electrolyte. The physico-chemical properties of carried out to determine the mechanism of con- most of them have not well been studied, com- duction. pared with oxides and halides in actual use as electrolytes. Ⅱ. Experimental Method In this study the electrical conductivity of 1. Preparation of sulfide powder the sulfides of magnesium (MgS) and stron- tium (SrS), which are the same alkaline earths (1) MgS powder as calcium(1), was measured in order to seek for Powder of MgS was prepared by reacting the potential use of them as solid electrolytes.
