Origin of Thermally Stimulated Currents in Oxide Glasses

Abstract

The TSDC/TSPC peak located below ~ 300 K in alkali containing glasses was investigated by several techniques. The measurement of this peak was made easier by using teflon electrodes which eliminated all interference from the dc conduction current. In all instances the TSDC/TSPC peak had an activation energy less than that for DC conduction and its behavior was consistent with dipole polarization.
