By C. J . MANDLEBERG and D. DAVIES.'lhe vapour pressure of plutonium tetrafluoride has been measured by Knudsen's effusion method, as modified by Phipps et al. Between 700" ant1 12OO0c, the vapour pressure can be represented by log,, p (mm. Hg) = 5-58 -10,04O/T; above 1200" a more volatile species occurs, whose vapour pressure can be represented by log,, p (mm. Hg) = 36.1 -54,18O/T.Above 1200" the residue remaining in the effusion pot is plutonium trifluoride and it is tentatively suggested that the species effusing above 1200" is the pentafluoride.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
