Conduction transients using a lagrangian formulation. Part I: Transients modified by their self space-charge

The problem of space-charge-limited current transients for a single species is set up and solved using a Lagrangian reference frame approach. Arbitrary boundary values are allowed for the electric field rather than a simple ohmic condition, and the electrodes are considered to be blocking to injecti...

Summary:The problem of space-charge-limited current transients for a single species is set up and solved using a Lagrangian reference frame approach. Arbitrary boundary values are allowed for the electric field rather than a simple ohmic condition, and the electrodes are considered to be blocking to injection. A physical realization of the situation would be the motion of a low-mobility species produced by ionizing radiation in an insulator after a more mobile oppositely charged carrier has left the sample.
