Time-dependent charges

At = 11.75 eV, an Ar is formed causing an additional peak in the phonon energy-loss tail. The shaded curve represents the calculated phonon excitation expected from a time-dependent charge at a lattice site. (From Ref. 85.)... 

The G-spinor representation (12), when substituted into (5), results in a time-dependent charge-current density... 

It is assumed that the time-dependent charge p(r, t) and response linear integral operator K with the time-dependent kernel K(r, , ) the quantities in Equation (1.134) are the relevant Fourier transforms. The solution can be found [13]...

The accumulated surface charge Qs t) oscillates periodically, and the time dependent charging, transfer and recombination terms are replaced by the sums of their steady state and periodic equivalents. 

This simple example shows that, by explicitly considering the PCM time dependent charges, one can obtain information about the effects of the solvent relaxation on the solute electronic states. By contrast, the standard analysis of the TDSS function will only give information on the solvent relaxation independently of the solute. 

A totally different point of view is proposed by Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory [211-215] (TD-DFT). This important extension of DFT is based on the Runge-Gross theorem [216]. It extends the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem to time-dependent situations and states that there is a one to one map between the time-dependent external potential t>ea t(r, t) and the time-dependent charge density n(r, t) (provided we know the system wavefunction at t = —oo). Although it is linked to a stationary principle for the system action, its demonstration does not rely on any variational principle but on a step by step construction of the charge current. 

I(dc) is inserted in equation 5.2 to calculate the specific volume resistivity at that temperature and electrical field strength. This measuring procedure is completely automated, see 5.1.4. The volume resistivity determination is described in the ASTM D257 (US), BS 202A (UK), DIN 53596/51953 (BRD) and in ISO 93 [3]. The time dependency of Ic is mentioned in all these methods. Besides, all methods indicate that I(dc) is determined usually after a standard charging time of 60 seconds. It will be clear that if one assumes I(dc) = Ic(60 seconds), this current nearly always contains a time dependent charging current contribution. 

All measurements were performed with an electrification voltage of 1000 Volt and an electrification time of twenty minutes. This electrification time proved to be sufficient to avoid contributions of time dependent charging currents (see Chapter 5.1). The in this way performed measurements agree with the recommendations given in ASTM D257 and IEC 93 methods.

Even in the best of metals, a space- and time-dependent charge distribution 8p(r,t) cannot be efficiently screened out at wavelengths short compared with the screening length nor at frequencies high... 

What is the origin of the charge transport phenomena and what do these experimental observations tell us about the material We show that the Mott-CFO model can answer these questions at least to first order, with the additional assumption that the density of localized band-tail states falls off exponentially away from the mobility edges. In this picture, the time-dependent charge transport is dominated by the statistical process associated with the progressive thermalization of electrons (or holes) into the band-tail states. We confine the discussion to electrons and assume that it can be generalized to holes trivially. 

A general theory, assuming that the superposition principle holds, has been developed for converting the time dependent charge-discharge current to the frequency dependence of the complex dielectric constant [1,103] ...

In addition the material would, in general, have a dc conduction so the capacitor would pass a time independent leakage current I(t) equal to A F where A is the conductance (reciprocal of resistance) of the sample-filled capacitor. A is proportional to the specific conductivity (in units of Q" cm ) of the dielectric. Note that the time-dependent charge, which arises from relaxation processes or space-charge development, has a derivative which is a current but this is not to be associated with the steady leakage current of a dc conductivity.
