Abstract

Lithium wires were exploded in air at atmospheric pressure employing a capacitor energy of 35 J. Time-resolved measurements of temperature and electron concentration enabled calculation of the power and energy associated with expansion, heating, excitation, ionization, radiation and shock-wave production. An experimental estimate of the electron affinity of the lithium atom is obtained.
