Abstract
It has been determined that an electric field of the order of a few thousand volts per centimeter can increase the diffusion flux of radiogenic argon from the ionic conductors KCl and microcline feldspar. Argon flux vs applied voltage curves are presented. Flux-time relaxation curves, obtained after removing the applied field, are also presented and indicate that the perturbation introduced by the electric field has a rather long-term residual effect (∼1 h).This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
