dc.description.abstract | Evidence is presented for infinite charge mobility in natural crystals of muscovite mica
at room temperature. Muscovite has a basic layered structure containing a flat monatomic sheet of
potassium sandwiched between mirror silicate layers. It is an excellent electrical insulator. Studies
of defects in muscovite crystals indicated that positive charge could propagate over great distances
along atomic chains in the potassium sheets in the absence of an applied electric potential. The
charge moved in association with anharmonic lattice excitations that moved at about sonic speed
and created by nuclear recoil of the radioactive isotope 40K. This was verified by measuring currents
passing through crystals when irradiated with energetic alpha particles at room temperature. The
charge propagated more than 1000 times the range of the alpha particles of average energy and
250 times the range of channelling particles of maximum energy. The range is limited only by size
of the crystal. | es |
