Summary: | Abstract The interaction of point detects in ice has been neglected for a long time. Experimental data obtained from dielectric measurements on HF-doped crystals stimulated a new evaluation of the possibility of an interaction between Bjerrum defects and ions. In a previous paper it has been shown that this leads us to assume the existence of aggregates of Bjerrum defects and ions. In this paper these aggregates and Bjerrum defects are used to explain the dielectric properties of ice, especially the temperature dependence of the product of the high and low frequency conductivity σ 0 σ ∞ . The interaction of Bjerrum defects and impurity molecules leads to a dependence of the concentration of frenkel pairs on Bjerrum-defect concentration. At HF concentrations above the native Bjerrum-defect concentration the formation of a Frenkel pair is enhanced. This leads to the fast out-diffusion which has been studied in highly doped crystals by means of NMR techniques. |
