| 内容記述 | It is suggested that small energy discharges of low differential voltage that are associated with internal buried charge may be an important mechanism by which sorted electrostatic energy is released from dielectrics on board orbiting spacecraft. The evidence from space given by Stevens (1980) is noted, and the laboratory experimental evidence of Frederickson is cited to demonstrate that discharges occur under circumstances with no external potential drop. Previous calculations indicating that significant internal electric fields can exist in dielectrics charged with multiple-kilovolt electron beams under conditions involving little or no external potential drop are reviewed. Attention is given to the internal discharge mechanism of Meulenberg (1976), and new calculations suggesting that the space environment is conducive to the formation of the conditions required by this mechanism are presented. Experimental procedures for checking the suggestions made are developed. |
