Thermally stimulated depolarization (TSD), e.g. [101]. TSD is applicable to dielectric polymers that are electrets. Depolarization currents are monitored and these currents are related to the relaxation of electric charges in the sample as a function of the number of events that take place in the sample at the molecular and supermolecular level.
