J. F. Dairymple and W. E. Spear, Carnegie Laboratory of Physics, University of Dundee, Dundee, Scotland. The unique structural property which links these two molecular solids is the eight membered puckered ring molecule The molecular orbitals and the energy level schemes that have been proposed are briefly discussed. Electron and hole transport in Sa and Sea is compared on the basis of the available drift mobility data It is concluded that in both crystals holes propagate in a band with a lattice mobility of about •iO cm 2 sec 1 V1. The same applies to electrons in Sea, but the intermolecular electron hopping transport in Sa presents an interesting anomaly, unexpected in view of the structural and electronic similarity of these solids. On the optical side, new reflectivity results for Sea are presented, together with the optical constants between 2 and 14 eV obtained by a Kramers—Krönig analysis. The spectral features of

THE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF THE ISOTOPE EFFECT FOR THE DIFFUSION OF Na~IN NaCI S. J. Rothman, N.L. Peterson, A. L. Laskar, and L. C. Robinson, Materials Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois 60439
The isotope effect for the diffusion of Na~ in Harshaw NaC1 crystals has been measured in
E 2 cures for Sa and Sea are discussed and the comparison suggests that in Sea a higher lying band (possibly formed from ci and 8 orbitals) overlaps the eleätron hopping level, whereas in Sa it does not. This model also explains the transport problem. Received 1 October1971.

This contribution reaches 30 45 per cent near the melting point. The temperature dependence of fAk and D suggests fAk is <0.2 for Na~diffusion by means of of vacancy pairs. This implies that, if Ak for ditfusion by vacancy pairs is greater than 0.8, f pairs is~0.25, and hence the ration CF jumps by pairs to Na~jumps by pairs must be less than 0.1. Also, a large entropy for Na~diffusion by vacancy =
