Measures the radiation induced conductivity of polyethylene terephthalate produced by the electron beam from a pinched electron beam diode. Experimental techniques used to measure such radiation; Description of the pinched electron beam diode and foil pack.

Focuses on a study which discussed the kinetics of a photocarrier, radically decreasing the radiation-induced conductivity of doped polyethylene terephthalate film. Condition in which the radiation-induced conductivity increases; Result of a situation once the photocarriers are generated and thermalized; Benefits from studying electronic transport in doped dielectric films.

Electron-induced conductivity measurements were performed on polyethylene terephthalate to compare electron and hole contributions to the radiation-induced conductivity. The electron mobility in this material was found to be >=102 times that of the holes. This result explains an earlier observation that the radiation-induced conductivity of polyethylene terephthalate can be radically reduced by chemically doping this dielectric with electron acceptor molecules.
