✦ Synopsis
The silver chalcogenides o'-Ag,+,Te and P-Ag,,, Se represent two contrary examples regarding the composition dependence of the chemical diffusion coefficient. Whereas in the vicinity of the stoichiometric composition the coulometric titration curve of P-Ag,Se is determined by the chemical potential of the silver ions (due to its cationic Frenkel disorder), the coulometric titration curve of cY-Ag,Te is determined by the chemical potentials of the electrons (due to its structural disorder). The experimentally determined maximum of the chemical diffusion coefficient, in the case of a-Ag, , ,Te, near the stoichiometric point as well as the monotonic decrease of the chemical diffusion coefficient with decreasing silver activity in the case of P-Ag z+RSe, can be explained in detail.
