Reaction between Silver and Sulfur Layers Accelerated by Irradiation with Light

Abstract

It has been .shown that solid state sulfur is chemically activated or polymerized by irradiation with light. As a further example, silver-sulfur system is demonstrated in the present paper.The sulfurization of silver was accelerated by irradiation with light.
Electron microscopic analysis showed that a por6us layer formed at the interface between silver and Sulfur. The porosity depended upon the rate of sulfide formation.
