Properties of Metal-Polymer-Metal Structures Observed with Space Charge Mapping Techniques. 1. High Field Stressing Experiments

摘要

By combining charge mapping with other data we have shown that dark current measurements in Mylar do not probe electronic injection and transport. This result points out the need to reexamine data from other dielectrics, where erroneous conclusions may have been drawn. As the breakdown field was approached, the charge trapped near the electrodes went through a maximum. This behavior is thought to signify the onset of electrical breakdown. (ERA citation 11:056508)
