An effect has been discovered that irradiation of a silicon sample by light changes the properties of another silicon sample several centimeters away from the former. This effect is observed if the samples are in contact with a fluoroplastic-NaCl aqueous solution system or a sodium-containing glass-water system. Results have been treated based on the earlier model of hypersonic wave generation by light in a siliconnative oxide system and the hypothesis for hypersonic wave propagation along a solid-aqueous medium interface due to the presence of Na + -[H 2 O] n clusters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
