Dynamics of the Proton Exchange Process in Benzoic Acid Interacting with Lithium Niobate Crystals.

This paper provides a numerical analysis of the behavior of the ion boundary layer formed during proton exchange. Thermal dissociation of benzoic acid melt molecules leads to the formation of benzoate ions and hydrogen ions. The latter can be absorbed by a lithium niobate wafer, with subsequent diffusion of lithium ions in the acid.
