Baroelectric effect in the present of gravitational forces
Abstract
Based on the microscopic Thomas-Fermi model electrostatic fields in the substance, generated by gravitation effects are investigated. Evaluations according to the Thomas-Fermi method allow one to conclude that baroelectric effect should cause high electrostatic fields in internal presurface planet layers. In particular, for the Earth such a field makes up the order of 10(exp 9) V/cm near the surface.
