Effects of molecular characteristics such as melt index and shapes of molecular weight distribution on the charge formation in LDPE have been investigated. Both homocharge and heterocharge were observed in LDPE depending on the value of melt index. It was found that the LDPE having intermediate melt indices shows heterocharge while the LDPE having small and high melt indecies shows homocharge. The shapes of molecular weight distributions were also found to affect the space charge in LDPE. These were explained by the role of short chains having low molecular weight in LDPE.

The interfacial charge distribution was investigated using PE laminate system. It was found that a proper treatment of the interlace could decrease the amount of charge accumulated at the interfaces. High lamination temperature and long lamination time brought about little interfacial charge. It was also observed that the interfacial charge could be decreased by the addition of chemicals which had charge trap or hopping site.

A complete finite element analysis method for discharge onset process, which is governed and coupled by charge transport equation and electric field equation, was presented. The charge transport equation of first order was transformed into a second-order one by utilizing the artificial diffusion scheme. The two second-order equations were analyzed by the finite element formulation which is well-developed for second-order ones. The Fowler-Nordheim injection boundary condition was adopted for charge transport equation. After verifying the numerical results by comparing to the analytic solutions using parallel plane electrodes with one carrier system, we extended the result to blade-plane electrodes in 2D xy geometry with three carriers system. Radius of the sharp tip was taken to be 50 ${\mu}m$. When this sharp geometry was solved by utilizing the space discretizing methods, the very sharp tip was found to cause a singularity in electric field and space charge distribution around the tip. To avoid these numerical difficulties in the FEM, finer meshes, a higher order shape function, and artificial diffusion scheme were employed.

In this study we developed a program(DEVSIM) to simulate the two dimensional distribution of the electrostatic potential and the electric field of the arbitrary structure consisting of GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor and metal as well as dielectric. By the comparision of the electric field distribution of GaAs MESFETs with the various recess gates we proposed a suitable device structure to improve the breakdown characteristics of MESFET. According to the results of simulation the breakdown characteristics were improved as the thickness of the active epitaxial layer was decreased. And the planar structure, which had the highly doped layer under the drain for the ohmic contact, was the worst because the highly doped layer prevented the space charge layer below the gate from extending to the drain, which produced the narrow spaced distribution of the electrostatic potential contours resulting in the high electric field near the drain end. Instead of the planar structure with the highly doped drain the recess gate structure having the highly doped epitaxial drain layer show the better breakdown characteristics by allowing the extention of the space charge layer to the drain. Especially, the structure in which the part of the drain epitaxial layer near the gate show the more improvement of the breakdown characteristics.

The influence of photoexcited nonequilibrium carriers on domain switching and photovoltaic current was investigated in two kinds of poled La-modified PbTiO$_3$ferroelectric ceramics, (Pb$_{0.85}$La$_{0.15}$)TiO$_3$and (Pb$_{0.76}$La$_{0.24}$)TiO$_3$, under illumination in the absence of external electric field. Both photovoltaic current and cumulative AE event counts increased with illumination time. The observed nonsteady-state photovoltaic current could be explained on the basis of the cycles of a series of physical events consisting the establishment of space charge field by photoexcited carriers trapped at the grain boundaries, the photoinduced domain switching, and the increase in the remanent polarization. An analysis of energy distribution of the observed AE signals also revealed that the space charge field in (Pb$_{0.85}$La$_{0.15}$)TiO$_3$allowed both 18$0^{\circ}C$ and 90$^{\circ}$domains to be switched during illumination.

Charging of spacecraft occurs in plasma and radiation environment. Especially, we focused on an accident caused by internal charging in a glass material that was used as the cover plate of solar panel array, and tried to measure the charge distribution in glass materials under electron beam irradiation by using a PEA (Pulsed Electro-Acoustic method) system. In the case of a quartz glass (pure $SiO_2$), no charge accumulation was observed either during or after the electron beam irradiation. On the contrary, positive charge accumulation was observed in glass samples containing metal-oxide components. It is found that the polarity of the observed charges depends on the contents of the impurities. To identify which impurity dominates the polarity of the accumulated charge, we measured charge distributions in several glass materials containing various metal-oxide components and calculated the trap energy depths from the charge decay characteristics of all glass samples.

In this paper, each specimen blended at weight proportions of 80% HDPE to 20% EVA, 70% HDPE to 30% EVA, 60% HDPE to 40% EVA, and 50% HDPE to 50% EVA was manufactured respectively. The insulation performances of the proposed insulator were compared with conventional XLPE, main insulating material of CV cable on the basis of the investigation results of DC insulation performances. From the space charge density, electric field and potential profiles with raising DC voltage and time variation in HE82, distortion of electric field distribution was improved. As EVA mixed into the bulks acts as nucleation in crystallization process of HDPE, the size of spherulites became decreased and finally formed continuous network structure. Ultimately it resulted from extinction of space charge in the interfacial region of spherulites.

The theoretical current density equations for organic semiconductors was derived according to the internal carrier emission equation based on the diffusion model at the Schottky barrier contact and the mobility equation based on the field dependence model, the so-called "Poole-Frenkel mobility model." The electric field becomes constant because of the absence of a space charge effect in the case of a higher injection barrier height and a lower sample thickness, but there is distribution in the electric field because of the space charge effect in the case of a lower injection barrier height and a higher sample thickness. The transition between the injection- and bulk-limited currents was presented according to the Schottky barrier height and the sample thickness change.

The mechanism of striation in the coplanar- and matrix-type plasma display panel (PDP) cells has been studied using the particle-in-cell Monte-Carlo Collision (PIC-MCC) model. The striation formation is related to the ionization energy of neutral atoms and the well-like deformation of space potential by space charge distribution. Negative wall charge accumulation by electrons on the MgO surface of the anode region is also one of the key factors for the formation of striation. The clearness of the striation phenomenon in PIC-MCC code in comparison with fluid code can be explained by using nonlocal electron kinetic effect.

Physical properties of glass fiber-reinforced nylon 6,6 and ionomer blends were investigated in variation of ionomer and glass fiber content. With the increase of ionomer content, tensile strength, impact strength and flexural strength decreased, whereas increasing glass fiber content, these properties were improves. Both permittivity and tan $\delta$ remain unchanged. Space charge distribution was investigated by PEA (Pulsed electroacoustic) method. Heterocharge was found in nylon 6,6 and 히ass fiber composites, whereas composites, whereas when ionomer is blended.
