Anomalous TSCs, observed with strongly doped samples, are considered to be due to the release of injected space-charge carriers and the partial blocking of the metal-polymer contact. As the number of shallow traps with small detrapping increases with increasing dopant concentration, the space-charge density will be relatively greater in room-temperature-charged samples with strong doping than in samples charged at this temperature with weaker doping.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":199976,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Electrets,(ISE 6) Proceedings.","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133879415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relative variations of sigma =q/q/sub 0/ are a function of the ionization created in the air cavity which contains the electret (if the initial and final charges of the electret are q/sub 0/ and q). A multilaminar system made with two materials (metal and carbon) allowed measurements to be made of the ionization relative to the carbon at all points. The same evolution was obtained with a traditional ionization chamber used under the same experimental conditions. The results show that significant variations in dose distributions occur at high photon energy where the mass energy absorption coefficients differ relatively little from one material to another. The enhancement or reduction in ionization becomes very sensitive to the direction of the incident photon beam. The energy deposited in a material is enhanced when it is next to one of lower atomic number, provided the gamma beam penetrates the lower atomic number material first. A reversal in beam direction reduces the ionization to a level below that which it could be for either material alone.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":199976,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Electrets,(ISE 6) Proceedings.","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131672370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The penetrating electron beam passes through the thin polymer film, and its main energy dissipates inside the metal support. Due to the secondary electron emission from the film surface a positive surface potential is left on the polymer, producing a poling field toward the grounded metal substrate. Using a chopped electron beam (E/sub 0/=5 keV to 30 keV) poling patterns have been created on the film. These polarized regions, having a lateral resolution in the submicron range, are subsequently imaged in the scanning electron microscope at low beam intensity using the potential contrast method. The mechanism for the generation of contrast is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":199976,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Electrets,(ISE 6) Proceedings.","volume":"301 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122311881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the sample was turned over, the direction of the peak was not changed. After the sample was dried completely, the peak at 75 degrees C disappeared. Another peak, which was much smaller than the peak at 75 degrees C, appeared around 95 degrees C, and its direction could not be reversed by turning the sample over. X-ray diffraction and infrared absorption were used as complementary analysis techniques. It is concluded from these experiments that the larger peak originated from the free water and the smaller one is due to crystallization water, keratin and peptide, etc.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":199976,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Electrets,(ISE 6) Proceedings.","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116780929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The factors studied include the dependence of flashover AC and DC voltage stresses on sample length and field conditions. The influence of the number of sequential flashovers on the magnitude of flashover voltage and on the surface deterioration of the polymer samples in vacuum is also examined. Under an ultimate pressure of 0.1 Pa the flashover voltage for perspex is always higher than that of Teflon. Thus the DC flashover voltage values are higher than those of AC values, whereby the negative polarity flashover voltage is higher than that of the positive polarity. The flashover voltage increases in general with increased sample length, so the flashover voltage values under nonuniform fields are higher than those under uniform field conditions. The flashover voltage decreases after about 35 flashovers; such a number of flashovers causes treelike eroded paths on the insulating surface, thus leading to a marked decrease of flashover voltage value.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":199976,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Electrets,(ISE 6) Proceedings.","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114459280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No spontaneous polarization resulting from molecular orientation or internal stress was evidenced by current measurements under zero bias voltage. The intermediate alpha ' relaxation was generated in TSPC and subsequent TSDC experiments, but its properties were markedly different in the two types of spectra. In TSPC measurements, the molecular mechanism responsible for the alpha ' peak is probably a field-induced local orientation of chain segments made possible by the increase in free volume consecutive to the drawing process. During this polarization step, which involves a thermal treatment of the drawn material up to 100 degrees C, a progressive change in structure and dipolar environment occurs, and this tends to shift and broaden the relaxation as seen in subsequent TSDC cycles.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":199976,"journal":{"name":"6th International Symposium on Electrets,(ISE 6) Proceedings.","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130756628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
