Evaluation of dielectric relaxation parameters from the ionic thermocurrent spectrum

Abstract
A method is developed to evaluate the dielectric relaxation parameters from the ionic thermocurrent spectrum. The suggested method is found to be convenient and easier in comparison to Bucci, Fieschi, and Guidi’s (BFG) method. The total charge released in the ITC measurement helps in the evaluation of the dielectric relaxation parameters. The accuracy of the evaluated parameters depends essentially on the extent to which the total released charge is estimated exactly. The method has been successfully applied in a number of cases. The evaluated parameters are found to be in very good agreement with those obtained following BFG method.
