Abstract
Results of charge deposition on 12.7 and 25.4‐μm polymer foils with 10‐ to 40‐keV monoenergetic electron beams are reported. The trapped charges have densities of about 10−7 C/cm2, with a uniformity of ± 5% over the bombarded area. The time constants of the charge decay are typically of the order of tens of years. Thermally stimulated currents show a more densely populated high‐temperature portion than for foils charged with other methods.Keywords
