terms:surface_conductance

Electrical conductance occurring at the surfaces of some solid crystalline materials when they are exposed to aqueous solutions.

Ion exchange provides a mechanism of electrical conduction in wet clay-like materials whereby the (usually positively charged) ions move under the influence of an impressed electrical field between “exchange sites” on the surfaces of the particles. See ion exchange.
