Abstract
The currents measured in oxidized low-density polyethylene after a dc step voltage excitation show maxima in the range of minutes to hours for temperatures between 20 °C and 80 °C and for field strengths between 20 and 200 kV/cm. The current maxima are shifted to shorter times by increasing the field strength or the temperature. The transient currents, which are explained by the build-up of an electronic space charge, allow estimation of effective charge carrier mobilities.
