Abstract: | A new method is suggested for the experimental determination of the dependence of the relaxation times on the temperature in dielectrics for which the time–temperature superposition principle is valid. The method makes possible the determination of this dependence for a separate relaxation process (for instance, for the β-relaxation process) over a wide temperature range by means of comparatively simple mathematical operations which are only slightly sensitive to experimental errors. Two or more discharge-current curves, measured with temperatures increasing in an arbitrary way with time, are used for this purpose. |
