Abstract
Our primary interest lies in the physics of electromagnetic phenomena associated with deformation and fracture of rocks. We start with a brief review of laboratory study of electromagnetic fields resulted from acoustic waves and shock polarization and magnetization effects in different materials. The vibration of charged dislocations and piezo-galvanic effect are considered to explain this effect in metals whereas the production and mobility of point and linear defects of atomic lattice is treated as a possible cause for the shock polarization effect in dielectrics. We discuss briefly a variety of electromagnetic phenomena caused by rock fracture. Among them are radiowave, optical and γ-radiation, and electron and ion emissions from fracturing rocks. We study the theories explaining the generation of strong electric fields in cracks and collapsing pores.
