Abstract

The authors present experimental results proving the nonthermal nature of the detonation initiation mechanism for lead azide. They conclude that the nature of experimental dependencies represented in their research permits the assertion that initiation of lead azide detonation occurs by the mechanism of shock ionization that develops in the strong field domains. The nature of the strong field domain is asociated either with the formation of domains of near-contact depletion by majority charge carriers or by capture of charge carriers by defects in the crystalline structure. In either case, electrically active structure is formed.
