Abstract
AbstractThe article concerns non‐isothermal dispersive carrier transport in an insulating solid with traps. The approximate solutions of transport equations derived previously are extended to the case of stepwise sample heating. The specific features of thermally stimulated currents (TSCs) can be attributed to non‐linear dependence of the demarcation level on temperature. In particular, the initial TSC rise has a thermally activated character where activation energy equals to the demarcation energy at the end of previous heating cycle. The accuracy of the formulae describing TSCs is verified by Monte Carlo calculations for Gaussian trap distribution.
