Ionizational mechanism of heterogeneous chemiluminescence excitation. I

The kinetics and steady characteristics of the heterogeneous chemiluminescence (HC) of crystals is considered for an ionizational mechanism of excitation as a function of the sample temperature and the concentration of atoms and molecules of the exciting gas. The characteristic differences from the corresponding dependences for a direct mechanism of HC excitation are found (HC is luminescence due to the transformation of energy liberated in exothermic events of heterogeneous chemical reaction at the surface of solids into the energy of superequilibrium radiation of a solid).
