Electric field effects in ionic

A thorough discussion Is given of the field modulation technique, a new stationary relaxation method based on electric field perturbation of Ionic equilibria. Concomitantly the theory of electric field effect In Ionic systems Is reviewed especially stressing their Importance for conductance phenomena In low polar solutions. 

The potential of this relatively simple technique will be shown from results obtained the the investigation of ionization processes in low polar media. We will give first an introductory summary of some aspects of electric field effects in ionic equilibria since a knowledge of this topic is necessary... 

From the foregoing discussion of electric field effects In Ionic equlibria It Is clear that a solution of a weak electrolyte shows a non-linear behavior In conductance (or resistance) at high field strengths. With an Interdisciplinary look at the field of electronics we note that such nonlinearities are at the heart of all modern electronic circuits and devices. We therefore can use a solution of a weak electrolyte subjects to high electric fields as an electronic device, which Is the basic Idea of the Field Modulation Tecnnlque, the general principles we will discuss now.
