Simulation calculations of the charge carrier transport in polyethylene

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The prerequisites for simulating the charge transport by MONTE CARLO methods are summarized and tested by experiment with PE. For this simulation calculations space charges have to be considered, particularly in interpreting the long-time kinetics. For them MONTE CARLO methods were found to be insufficient. In investigating the long-time kinetics by surface potential measurements deviations from the dispersive behaviour were observed.
