Microscopic examination of (NH,),Cr,O, crystallites, previously decomposed to measured extents, has given strong evidence that reaction proceeds through the intervention of a melt. This reaction has previously been accepted as occurring in the solid phase and the use of higher magnifications than were applied previously revealed the progressive development of foam-like zones of active reaction. These structures are termed 'fusion nuclei'. We conclude that an initial, and probably reversible, dissociation of the reactant
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.
