We have been interested in the research of the charge transfer mechanism between the dielectric surfaces through the narrow air gap. The electric potential differcnce
V1 induced in the air gap between the two dielectric films put inside of parallel electrodes is indlcated by the fo rmula (4) and found to be a function of the applied volage between electrodes
Va, gap length
d1, thicknesses and dielectric constants of the films, and potential of the surface charge to be transfered.
On the other hand, the spark voltage of the gap is shown by the well known Paschen's curve as the function of the product of
d1 and the pressure
p (Fig. 2). smaller the
p・
d1,
V1 will be enough to the spark when the charge densithy σ
s is high.
When the polarity of
Va is opposite to σ
s,
V1 is lower and we can reduce the gap and evacuate the system without spark. After then, if
V1 is increased we can determine whether spark potential at small
p・
d1 fits the paschen's curve or not.
We have concluded, by this procedure, that the charge transfer ln the narrow gap between dielectric surfaces is done by the syark mechanism.
