Charge storage, and conduction properties, were measured using TSCD and open and short circuit TSC; and TSPC, respectively. Antioxidants increased negative and positive storage level and reduced conduction activation energies, but had little effect on lifetime. 0.01 wt. % of phthalocyanine increased lifetime in the dark (x 5) and conduction activation energy. Trapping may take place by the cage-like amine structure. 5 wt. % of titanium dioxide increased charge lifetime by a factor of roughly 7. Defect traps were annealed out at low concentrations, and new deep traps introduced by the titanium dioxide itself at all concentrations. Additive-matrix boundary trapping is another possibility for the latter two additives.","PeriodicalId":6451,"journal":{"name":"1985 5th International Symposium on Electrets (ISE 5)","volume":"3 1","pages":"88-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87138646","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}

For incident electron accelerating voltages in the range of kilovolts to tens of kilovolts, the charge accumulation is primarily within a few micrometers of the exposed surface, so that the propagating subsurface arc frequently bursts through the surface, ejecting ionized debris and an appreciable fraction of the accumulated electrons. This blowoff current can reach a peak value of hundreds or even thousands of amperes and thus, when it occurs on spacecraft materials, severe interference to control systems can be the result. The present state of understanding of this phenomenon will be reviewed.","PeriodicalId":6451,"journal":{"name":"1985 5th International Symposium on Electrets (ISE 5)","volume":"28 1","pages":"597-601"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82291607","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 effect of blocking and non-blocking conditions and the special behaviour at free surfaces is considered. The roles of structure and local order especially for polymeric electrets and the influence of ionic and polar impurities in determining the magnitude, life-time and transport of charges in electret materials will be outlined.","PeriodicalId":6451,"journal":{"name":"1985 5th International Symposium on Electrets (ISE 5)","volume":"51 1","pages":"75-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75617188","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}

These two current peaks were related with the double hysteresis loop in the copolymers. As temperature was decreased, E1 lowered crossing zero and changed in the polarization field.

A space charge limited current (SCLC) characteristic is observed to hold for low values of the plate current Ip, provided that the grid voltage Vg is corrected by a counter potential Vr. The analysis of experimental results indicates that Vr is due both to penetration of field lines through the grid and to the corona wind. However, departure from SCLC regime is observed at higher plate currents. In the calculation, a layer of recombination centers is substituted for the grid.

The PPS-method operating with an almost ideal acoustic step excitation results in getting an 1:1-image of the longitudinal piezoelectric distribution within a thin film as demonstrated for PVDF by Haardt [3J. The results are consistent with charge compensated polarization layers within incompletely poled films. In order to obtain more informations on the possible reasons for these distributions we investigated the time dependence of the step response signal during poling.
