Thermally stimulated current studies of conduction polarization in several alkali-containing oxides

Mechanism of Thermal Charge Relaxation in Poled Silicate Glasses in a Wide Temperature Range (From Liquid Nitrogen to Glass Melting Temperature)

“…Commonly, measurements of the TSDC spectra of poled glasses are performed in narrow (restricted) temperature intervals. Most studies are performed either below the ambient temperature − or much less in the interval 300–700 K, and there are only rare works where TSDC spectra were measured above glass transition temperatures (700–1100 K). , Note that in all these studies the researchers used different glasses, so that comparison of these data does not provide a complete picture about the phenomenon in the full temperature interval in the same material. In the presented research, we have generalized our studies of TSDC spectra measured in the same poled multicomponent silicate glass in the full temperature range, starting from 100 K up to 1000 K, where all possible TSDC bands of different natures are observed.…”

Discrimination between dipolar and space-charge relaxation by thermally stimulated current spectroscopy: application to several alkali-exchanged mordenites

“…The thermally stimulated current (TSC) method is currently used for studying the thermal relaxation properties of solids such as polymers [1,2], glasses [3][4][5] and semiconductors [6,7]. We generally have recourse to this technique for characterization of dielectric processes and for assessment of enthalpy and entropy variations related to dipolar systems.…”
