Mechanism of Lead Azide Photolysis,

Abstract

The mechanism of lead azide photolysis was investigated by parallel studies of thermally stimulated currents and nitrogen emission under identical conditions. Gas emission peaks were observed at -36, 13 and 25C. A thermally simulated current peak was observed in the 25C region. It is concluded that holes participate in azide decomposition, and that ionic processes do not limit the photodissociation. (Author)
