Shockwave-Initiated Emission of Ions from Stressed Granite

Abstract

In this paper, we obtained intensity distributions of beams of positively charged ions emitted from the surface of uniaxially compressed granites under the effect of a shock wave. The intensity of beams decreases exponentially with an increase in the number of shock waves. The ions fly out at the moments when the dislocations reach the surface moving in intersecting slip planes. A compressive load suppresses the dislocation release and the intensity of ion beams.
