Abstract
Heat release in thread-like silver azide crystals exposed to a contact less electric field is studied. Concurrent volumetric measurements hav e demonstrated that in slow AgN3 decomposition up to 10(4) eV is evolv ed per radical, which can not be explained by heat release due to the decomposition reaction in the anionic sublattice. The experimental res ults are used to approximately calculate the homogeneous concentration of free holes and the rates of generation and recombination of nonequ ilibrium charge carriers.
