AN ELECTRICAL MODEL OF SIMULATION OF THERMALLY STIMULATED DEPOLARIZATION CURRENT BY MEANS OF A PS-PICE SOFTWARE

In this paper we present an electrical model of simulation. This model , used to simulate thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements, yields the same behaviour for its time constant as that observed for amorphous materials in a large temperature interval. This model, whose main device is a current source controlled by the expone ntial of a voltage with linear temperature dependence could be conside red as a generalization of the classical model generally used in TSDC interpretation attempts. Its response is very close to that observed i n various TSDC measurements carried out on different polymers.
