The Polarization of Silver Azide in Electric Field

Abstract

The experimental results show that the relative permittivity in the threadlike silver azide crystals changes under the influence of the polarization field (10-3 ÷ 103 V/m). An amount of the formed intermediate product at a weak noncontact electric field decreases significantly that allows assuming that polarization influences primarily, at the stage of formation of the silver azide decomposition intermediate. The polarization in a constant noncontact electric field may be regarded as a control method of explosive sensitivity.
