[Mechanism of microwave radiation absorption by biological membranes].

PAPER pubmed Biofizika 1994 Other Effect: unclear Evidence: Insufficient

Abstract

A new mechanism is proposed in order to explain the influence of microwave on biological membranes. The mechanism is based on transit time effects of carriers performing the ionic transport. Accounting for the carrier transit time shows that the biological membrane can be considered as a dielectric diode with conductivity and dielectric permissivity dependent on the transit angles, leading to additional absorption.
