Abnormal Influence of Ions on Shock-Induced Polarization in Binary Electrolytes

The study is aimed at modeling the shock-induced polarization of liquid superdiluted binary (KF) electrolytes at low (<10^-4 mole fraction) concentration of K⁺ and F^- ions (i.e. not making direct contribution to the polarization current). It is supposed that at such a small concentration of electrolyte only the dipole polarization of water occurs, while the indirect influence of ions is expressed in its reduced conductivity in the compressed region at increasing concentration of the dissolved ions. In the authors' opinion, this influence is connected with suppression of the transition of water into high-conductivity phase by the ions of electrolyte.
