electrostatic field

We review and analyse the avaiable theoretical and experimantal studies of seismic signals under the influence of an external electrostatic field. It is shown that these effects can improve the quality of seismic data, and thus create new possibilities to study the physics of geoloical media. Further directions of the electroseismic research are discussed.

An effective interionic potential in semi-infinite metal, which is located in the external electrostatic field is studied. An effect of the local field correction and the applied external electric field on the effective interionic potential is investigated.
