THERMALLY STIMULATED DEPOLARIZATION CURRENT MEASUREMENTS AND INTERPRETATION

The fictive thermodynamic equilibrium temperature T-fi determined from thermal investigation (differential scanning calorimetry, for example ) and the compensation temperature T-c introduced in thermally stimula ted depolarisation current measurements are compared. A brief descript ion is given of the experimental apparatus of TSDC measurements built in the authors' laboratory, and the main parameters and results obtain ed from the two methods (]DSC and TSDC) are given, An interpretation o f the experimental equality observed between the experimental values e lf the thermodynamic equilibrium temperature T-fi obtained from BSC in vestigations and the temperature compensation T-c introduced in TSDC m easurements is proposed.
