Abstract
The activity of copper in cuprous sulfide as a function of the copper‐to‐sulfur ratio has been determined with the help of coulometric titrations. The homogeneity range of cuprous sulfide at 400°C extends from a copper‐to‐sulfur ratio of 1.9996±0.0002 for samples coexisting with metallic copper to a ratio of less then 1.93 for samples coexisting with digenite (Cu1.8S). The ratio of the effective mass of electron holes to that of the free electron has been found to be 7±2 at 435°C. Preliminary conductivity measurements suggest a considerable increase of the mobility of electron holes with an increasing copper deficit of the samples presumably due to fewer collisions of electron holes with excess electrons.

Solid‐State Ionics: Roots, Status, and Future Prospects

TL;DR: A review of the evolution of solid-state ionics over approximately the past 100 years is given in this article, with a brief history, introducing milestones of the development of this discipline, followed by a short summary of the theory of ionic conduction in the bulk and the more recently developed theory at interfaces, and the main technological applications, that is, batteries, solidoxide fuel cells, electrochemical sensors, electrochromic windows, and oxygen-separation membranes.

Electrical Conductivity of Silver Sulfide

TL;DR: In this article, a method of measuring the ionic and electronic conductivities independently, as functions of the chemical potential ζ of the silver component, has been proposed, and the electronic conductivity is found to vary as expBζ both above and below the transition at 177°C.

Investigations on Silver Sulfide

TL;DR: The variability of the Ag/S ratio in silver sulfide has been studied with the help of electrochemical measurements as mentioned in this paper, and it is shown that the variability of Ag2S at 160°C is of the order of 3×10−5 g−atom Ag/mole Ag 2S.
