Abstract

Our results demonstrate that a new effect can be induced in each solid in a wide spectral range of electromagnetic irradiation. In the present manuscript we prove experimentally that one of the possible applications of this effect is for an express contactless control of the chemical composition of a series of samples, in this case, coins. The method has wide applicability ranging from defense and homeland security to several applications requiring rapid and nondestructive identification of chemical composition.
