Predetonation conductivity of silver azide
Aduev B. P., Aluker E. D. , Belokurov G. M., Krechetov A. G.
The conductivity of silver azide whiskers detonated by a laser pulse was measured. It was shown that the conductivity pulse leads the detonation by 50-70 ns and that the sample approaches metallic conductivity. It was concluded that the explosion occurs by a chain mechanism. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
