Thermal Electret of the ZnO varistor

ZnO 바리스터의 열 일렉트렛트

Thermal Electet of the Zinc Oxide varistor has been studied in the temperature range of -130${\sim}200[^{\circ}C]$ and the electric field of 6[kV/m]. It appears that there are four peaks of thermally stimulated current; ${\alpha},\;{\beta},\;{\gamma}$ and ${\delta}$ spectra appearing at the temperature range of 160, 130, 20 and $-30[^{\circ}C]$, respectively. It seems that the origins of ${\alpha},\;{\beta},\;{\gamma}$ and ${\delta}$ peaks are associated with the depolarization of donor ions in the depletion layer, the detrapping of trapped electron in the surface, the detrapping of trapped electron in the donor level and the detrapping of trapped electron between grain and intergranular, respectively.
