Electrical Behavior of Polycarbonate Doped with Nickel Chloride
The de electrical conductivity (sigma) and permittivity (epsilon’) of polycarbonate (PC) discs doped with different concentrations of NiCl2 are studied. Both (sigma) and (epsilon’) increase with increasing the concentration of NiCl2, with a maximum value at 30 wt %. The activation energies for pure and doped PC are 0.49 and 0.53 eV, respectively. The increase in the electrical conductivity with increasing NiCl2 concentration is attributed to the formation of charge-transfer complexes (CTC); the increase in epsilon’ may be due to the rise in the interfacial polarization which results from the increase in boundaries between PC and NiCl2 phases. The currents in PC discs, both pure and doped with NiCl2, in the high-field region are attributed to space charge limited conduction. The time dependence of conduction current before and after reversal of applied voltage is also investigated. Some parameters such as the density of mobile ions and their drift mobilities are estimated.
