The electrical conduction processes in organic materials considered by a new concept of the thermally stimulated current

Abstract

Important concepts in the promotion of TSC (thermally stimulated current) research are described, and the distribution law of carrier-trap states is reported. The concept of organization is established upon the basis of the concept of the 'fundamental element'. The concept utilized to organize the fundament elements originally, the concept used to stabilize the organized elements, and the concept of 'purification' are key in the evaluation of the exact TSC parameters. They make possible the perfect autoseparation of the composite TSC curve into single curves. Moreover, the concept of purification is an indispensable method for determining sufficient figures for discussing the main subject. The method established from the concept of 'purity' by which one can calculate the TSC curve without any ambiguities supports these perfect autoseparation processes. Upon the 'organized ground' established by these concepts, the distribution law of carrier-trap states in organic materials is revealed and discussed.<>
