Thermally stimulated depolarisation

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011953",
  "term": "Thermally stimulated depolarisation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A thermal analysis technique that measures the depolarization current or charge released from a previously polarized dielectric material as it is heated at a controlled rate. This process reveals information about the relaxation processes and trap states within the material. It is closely related to thermally stimulated current measurements.",
