The results show that the carriers photogenerated in the bulk or photo-injected from the metallic electrode are mainly holes, and that the transport is a thermally activated hopping process. The field dependence of the photoconduction current in the visible and infrared regions is attributed to field-assisted photo-injection of holes into the bulk from the metallic electrode by tunneling in a manner similar to the Franz-Keldysh effect.","PeriodicalId":433367,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Electrical Insulation & Dielectric Phenomena — Annual Report 1987","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132379812","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}

Although a great deal of work has been done on the electrical properties of polymers and the intact cable, there seems not to be a systematic study of the electrical properties as a function of the inorganic structural characteristic of the filler. The trapping sites of carriers in the filled polymers has been thought \" to be closely related to the boundary regions between polymer and filler. Recently, several studies have been carried out on the behavior of space charges in composite polymers [1–4]. However very little work has been done on whether fillers affect the electrical properties at other than the interfacial areas. We are, at this time, reporting preliminary data on the study of the electrical properties of fillers with different structures using the TSC technique to measure the space charge characteristic.","PeriodicalId":433367,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Electrical Insulation & Dielectric Phenomena — Annual Report 1987","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131089446","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 trend towards higher voltages and long-term XLPE cable system reliability emphasizes the importance of not only the insulation materials, but also the semiconductive shields and the perfection of the shield/insulation interface. Protrusions from the semiconductive shields penetrating into the insulation have been observed to initiate tree growth and thereby give premature failures. Consequently, the need to quantitatively evaluate the smoothness of the carbon filled shield material has been recognized. Currently, extruded semicon tapes are manually examined under a strong light or at low magnification for undispersed black or other protrusions on their surface. This technique to evaluate extruded tape smoothness is qualitative and subject to the errors associated with human judgement. To quantify the smoothness characteristics of a semicon extruded tape surface, a laser-light profiling device has been developed to count and size the number of surface imperfections. This instrument permits rapid quantitative analysis of large surface areas of semiconductive tape directly from an extruder with immediate data analysis and presentation. The electrical stress enhancement resulting from these protrusions from the shield into the insulation may then be evaluated by numerical methods.","PeriodicalId":433367,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Electrical Insulation & Dielectric Phenomena — Annual Report 1987","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129853075","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}

High energy electrons break chemical bonds and create free radicals or initiate electron avalanches. However, the detailed process is not fully understood. Contradiction exists between the calculated and the measured carrier mobilities in polymers. The breakdown field of polymers is ca. 10 MVcm−1 and the band gap is ca. 10 eV. This requires an electron mobility of 100 cm2 V−1 s−1 or a mean free path in the order of 10 nm. However, the experimental mobility values are by many orders of magnitude smaller. If the existence of a mean free path in the 10 nm order could be verified, it would prove the existence of high mobility electrons in a breakdown field.","PeriodicalId":433367,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Electrical Insulation & Dielectric Phenomena — Annual Report 1987","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126063269","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}
