Abstract
The Onsager theory of dissociation, based upon the solution of Brownian equations of motion of charge carriers interacting through a Coulomb potential in an applied electric field, is shown to account for the electric‐field‐enhanced conductivity in solids. In contradistinction to often quoted one‐dimensional macroscopic Poole‐Frenkel theory and its varied three‐dimensional modifications, the Onsager theory is microscopic in nature and thus provides a quantitative description of the observed field enhancement of the conductivity.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
