Vs. Kuksenko et al., RELAXATION OF ELECTRIC-FIELDS INDUCED BY MECHANICAL LOADING IN NATURAL DIELECTRICS, Physics of the solid state, 39(7), 1997, pp. 1065-1066
An investigation is made of electric fields induced in natural dielect
rics by mechanical loading and electrical polarization. It is shown th
at the relaxation of the polarization is identical in nature for both
cases and is basically a thermally activated process. The temperature
dependence is obtained for the relaxation time of the electric fields.
Also estimated is the activation energy for motion of charge carriers
leading to the relaxation of these fields. (C) 1997 American Institut
