For a better understanding of the physical mechanisms involved in insulators submitted to electron irradiation inside a scanning electron microscope, it is important to investigate charge trapping and detrapping. The commonly used technique to deduce the trapping ability and the motion process of electric charges is based on two complementary experimental methods: the scanning electron microscope mirror effect (SEMME) and the induced current measurement (ICM). In this paper, our study is devoted to the influence of temperature on the behavior of porcelain materials during electron injection time. To evaluate the geometry of the trapped charge distribution, a detailed analysis using the mirror image formation and its evolution is developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
