Abstract

Finely dispersed powder of AgI has been investigated using the mechanochemical method. The crystal size was determined by scanning electron microscopy, and the crystal element composition was estimated using X-ray microanalysis. The diameter of powder particles was 500–1000 nm. Their surface is characterized by an expressed faceting attributable to the hexagonal phase β-AgI. The particle surface contains finer crystals with a characteristic size of ∼40 nm. The obtained results are discussed within the scope of the model.
