Abstract
PREVIOUS work on the decomposition of alpha-lead azide have been performed at temperatures close to its ignition temperature1,2. The assumption has been made that the products of such decompositions have been only lead metal and nitrogen gas. The present communication describes the results of a study on the solid material obtained from the low-temperature thermal decomposition of alpha-lead azide.
