[Water structure formation by weak magnetic fields and xenon. Electron microscopic analysis].
Exposure of deionized water of high purity grade to weak magnetic fields (collinear fields: the constant component 42 +/- 0.1 microT; the alternating component: amplitude 60 +/- 2 nT, frequency 3.7 Hz) for 12 h affects the structure formation in a water-xenon system. This is evidenced by the formation of xenon clathrate crystals a few submicrons and microns in size whereas in initial water solution these crystals were absent. The changes in water properties persist for at least two days after the treatment with magnetic fields. The addition into water of calcium ions at a concentration close to physiological completely eliminates the effect of the formation of submicron and micron crystals of xenon gas hydrates.
