| Abstract |
In the course of the investigation to the field dependent electrical conducation mechanism in polypropylene, an abnormal conduction phenomena such as voltage controlled negative resistance charateristics has been observed at the junction of two regions charateriged by schottky effect and space charge effect respectively. This abnormal characteristics was observed initially about 110MV / m of the field strength and at 25 , however, the field strength where it observed was decreased and the apparent feature of negative charateristics was less pronounced as increasing ambient temperature. Although the observations of analogous characteristics in other materials such as polyethylene, polymethylemethactylate, and polystyrene have already been reported together with plausible explanation by Toureille and others, however, it was found that the proposed concept by those authors was little use to the present observations for quantitative discussions. Accordingly we tried to adapt another conceptual discussion based on Gibbons's formulation pertaing to the saturatio trend of the field dependent drift velocity of carriers towards the thermal velocity corresponding to the ambient temperature so that the quantitative explanatio on the observed facts has been succeeded to some estent of reasonable acceptance. |
