Mass Transport and DC Electromotive Force Induced in Ionic Crystals by High-Frequency Electric Field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 February 2011
Abstract
Results of the theoretical study of the effects produced on ionic crystals by highfrequency electric fields of moderate intensity are presented. The ponderomotive action of the electric field on the space charge induced by it in a thin layer within the crystal near its surface causes directional mass transport that leads to plastic deformation and induces a stationary distribution of electric potential. The analysis shows that the proposed effect (that appears to be equivalent to the action of mechanical stresses which exceed the electromagnetic pressure by many orders of magnitude) can influence the results of processing of ionic crystalline materials significantly.
