Thermokinetic oscillations of the rate of radiation-induced cryochemical solid-phase chain reactions

Data on the detection and the experimental and theoretical investigation of thermokinetic rate oscillations in cryochemical chain reactions induced by radiation (Co-60 gamma -rays) in a solid phase are surveyed. Such oscillat ory modes follow the general pattern and they are observed for different re actions (hydrobromination, polymerization, and copolymerization of ethylene ) in crystalline and glassy states both immediately in a gamma -radiation f ield and as a post effect upon heating of samples.
