Ey. Misochko, ROLE OF SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT OF REACTANTS IN SOLID-PHASE CHEMICAL CHAIN-REACTIONS AT ULTRALOW TEMPERATURES, High energy chemistry, 29(6), 1995, pp. 397-400
The conditions for chain propagation are discussed for low-temperature
solid-phase reactions occurring in the absence of translational diffu
sion of the reactants. It was shown that the chain length and the geom
etry of its propagation related to distribution of the reactants over
the lattice points and hot atoms formed in exothermic processes are in
volved in chain propagation.
