Thermal Decomposition of Irradiated Lead Oxalate
IN a previous communication1 it was suggested that the thermal decomposition of a solid would be affected by pre-irradiation if the decomposition of the unirradiated substance proceeds by a branching-chain mechanism, and if a simple metal cation is present. Lead oxalate satisfies these requirements2, and we report here some preliminary results on the effects of pre-irradiation by gamma-rays on the subsequent thermal decomposition of this substance in the range 300–325° C.
