THE FEATURES OF SUPERATOMIC STRUCTURE EVOLUTION IN SILVER AZIDE BY RADIOLYSIS

Some details of the superatomic structure evolution in silver azide du ring its decomposition under the action of soft X-ray radiation are re vealed by Small Angle X-ray Scattering techniques (SAXS). The function s of particle size distribution are computed from SAXS intensity curve s. It is found that several types of inhomogeneities are formed in the process of decomposition: density fluctuations on atomic scale (proba bly silver centers), small silver particles with bimodal size distribu tion and their aggregates.
