Abstract

Igneous rocks generally involve positive hole pairs (PHPs), a kind of lattice defects also known as peroxy links: O3X-OO-YO3 with X, Y = Si4+, Al3+ etc. When a portion of such a rock block is stressed or heated, PHPs are deformed and positive holes (p-holes) are activated. They are defect electrons corresponding to the O- electronic state in the O2- sublattice and can spread away into unstressed portion. Currents and positive surface electrifications detected in laboratory stressed igneous rocks can be explained by the p-holes. When the p-holes are activated in the Earth's crust accompanied with seismic or volcanic events, they would lead to anomalous electromagnetic phenomena and could affect our electronic communication.
