The orientation of deposited silver by evaporation on several crystal surfaces, of silver bromide is studied by electron diffraction, making a comparison with the case of photolytic silver. The results well agree in most cases with that of photolytic silver provided that the deposited silver hardey impairs the silver bromide crystals.
The mechanism of silver separation is made known from equilibrium conditions of the ionic space charge and the electronic energy levels. This idea successfully explaines the experimintal results, suggesting the presence of the defects formed by interstitial silver ions and the complexes supposed to consist of two silver vacancies and one bromine vacancy, just before the formation of Schottky defects. A speculation is made on the structure sensitive properties of silver bromide.
