Stress induced polarization currents and electromagnetic emission from rocks and ionic crystals, accompanying their deformation

A crucial question of the scientific community nowadays, concerns the existence of electric signals preceding earthquakes. In order to give a plausible answer to this question, we carried out two kinds of laboratory experiments of uniaxial deformation of ionic crystals and rock samples: a) In the fi...
