Abstract
ALTHOUGH mica is not recognized as one of the highly insulating materials (its specific volume conductivity is quoted in standard reference books as between 10−14 and 10−17 ohm-cm.−1 at 20° C), its behaviour under X-irradiation is of interest in comparison with the organic plastic insulating materials which we have studied1.
