✦ Synopsis

rate of intercalation of graphite by bromine has been measured for natural crystals over a range of 500 fold in area and 10 fold in thickness. l'he results have been interpreted in terms of Fick's Law for radial diffusion in a cylinder and a mechanism in which all layers are open to intercalation as soon as bromine is admitted at high relative pressure.
