Bp. Aduev et al., STUDY OF SILVER AZIDE EXPLOSIVE DECOMPOSITION BY SPECTROSCOPIC METHODS WITH HIGH TEMPORAL RESOLUTION, Solid state ionics, 101, 1997, pp. 33-36
Predetonation conductivity and luminescence have been observed when th
e decomposition of silver azide whiskers was initiated by a laser puls
e. Conductivity kinetics and luminescence spectra have been investigat
ed. Experimental results show that the explosion occurs by a chain mec
hanism and a model of elementary steps of the chain reaction is propos
ed within the framework of band model.
