The migration of Hg in the solid electrolyte, at temperatures of between 140 and 250C, was measured by using 203Hg radiotracer and serial sectioning methods. It was deduced that the Hg ion conductivity could be described by the expression:

σT (SK/cm) = 2.6 x 106 exp[-0.68(eV)/kT]

Therefore, the Hg2+ ionic conductivities at temperatures of 140 and 250C were 3.3 x 10-5 and 1.4 x 10-3S/cm, respectively. It was further estimated that the ionic mobilities of Ag and Hg were 1.8 x 10-4 and 5.4 x 10-8cm2/Vs, respectively, at 140C and 3.0 x 10-4 and 2.4 x 10-6cm2/Vs, respectively, at 250C.
