Time Dependence of Current Injection Phenomenon in Nickel-Doped MgO Crystals at High Temperatures*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The electrical conduction mechanisms in MgO:Ni with Pt electrodes at 1473 K are studied over electric field ranges up to ∼10 kV/cm. The current transients induced by pulsed changes of the applied voltage as well as transient shortcircuit currents have been measured and analyzed to yield two electron hole recombination lifetimes of 10 and 250 s. The main features of the results are consistent with the double injection model of the electrical breakdown of MgO at high temperatures.
