Abstract

A model to investigate Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Current (TSDC) peak parameters using the dipole-dipole interaction concept is proposed by the author in this work. The proposed model describe the (TSDC) peak successfully since it gives a significant peak parameters (i.e. Activation energy (E) and the per-exponential factor (\tau_0) in addition to the dipole-dipole interaction strength parameter (di). Application of this model to determine the peak parameters of polyvinyl chloride(PVC) polymer is presented . The results show how the model fit the experimental thermal sampling data. Finally the results are compared to the well know techniques; the initial rise method (IR), the half width method (HW) in addition to the Cowell and Woods analysis.
