Abstract
IN two previous communications1, the results of X-ray diffraction experiments with salts of alkali metals, gold and platinum dispersed in boric oxide and borax glasses have been reported. It has been shown that crystallites of these substances exist in a finely divided condition in these glass media, the size of the particles in the case of the noble metals being somewhat greater than the colloidal particles of these in Zsigmondy‘s sols, which give only diffuse bands in their X-ray diffraction pictures, as opposed to the sharp lines which I have obtained.
