Sensitivity of Lead Azide to Electric Spark (Chuvstvitelnost Azida Svintsa k Elektricheskoi Iskre)

Abstract

The results of investigations on the sensitivity of lead azide to an eletric spark are outlined in this article. Experimental data on the dependence of the sensitivity of lead azide to spark discharge on various factors (density, crystal size, distance between electrodes, temperature, presence of inert admixtures) and views on the mechanism of spark triggering are given.
