Role of },-irradiation and Ba 2+ doping on the isothermal decomposition of caesium bromate has been investigated gasometrieally. It is seen that decomposition proceeds in a molten/semi-molten state presumably due to formation of an eutectic between the product bromide and the host material, i.e., bromate. The process exhibits stages: (i) initial gas evolution (initial puff) (ii) short aeceleratoty and (iii) long decay. The data are analysed in the light of theories of different kinetic models like Prout-Tompkins, Avrami-Erofeev and explore that irradiation as well as doping enhance decomposition.
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.
