Charge storage in dielectrics

Work on charge storage processes in dielectrics performed over the past few years is reviewed. Results obtained on polymers with corona, electron-beam, and pressure-pulse methods and pertaining to trap filling, spatial distribution of the charge, radiation-induced conductivity, and dynamics of the charge decay are discussed. The generation of a variety of polarization distributions in polyvinylidene fluoride with electron-beam and other methods is reviewed. Some results on charge storage and transport in silicon dioxide are described.>
