Abstract
Heavy-metal azides (lead, silver, and thallium azides) attract attention of scientists not only because they are common initiating explosives whose nature of explosion is still discussed, but also because their properties are close (on a number of parameters) to those of halogenides whose physical properties are well studied. In the present work, based on the analysis and correlations of polarization-and magnetostrictive effects found in heavy-metal azides, an attempt is made to substantiate the physical-chemical mechanism of detonation initiation as ionization induced by the electric field.
