Fracto-Emission from Polymers.

Abstract

Progress in the investigation of fracto-emission (FE) from polymers is reported. Measurements characterizing the FE, experiments concerning FE mechanisms, and studies of factors influencing FE are discussed. This work includes: experimental evidence for and presentation of a conceptual model for the charged particle emission mechanisms, studies of electron and positive ion emission from single crystals of PETN and the production of electrical breakdown by fracture. Also, the phenomenon of electron beam induced fracture is presented. (Author)
