Abstract

It is found that conductivity of molten ZnCl2 grows at the increase of the electric field intensity and tends to the limiting values at the overintensities of the order of magnitude of MV/m. This dependence is studied in three temperature ranges characteristic of this melt. The relative conductivity growth after achieving limiting intensity values decreases at the temperature increase from 97.3% at 600 K to 28.2% at 900 K. The obtained regularities confirm the melt cluster structure of intermediate order.
