熱激勵(lì)去極化電流（thermally stimulated depolarization currents, 簡(jiǎn)寫為TSDC或TSC）是電介質(zhì)材料在受熱過(guò)程中建立極化態(tài)或解除極化態(tài)時(shí)所產(chǎn)生的短路電流。基本方法是將試樣夾在兩電極之間，加熱到一定溫度使樣品中的載流子激發(fā)，然后施加一個(gè)直流的極化電壓，經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間使樣品充分極化，以便載流子向電極漂移或偶極子充分取向，隨后立即降溫到低溫，使各類極化“凍結(jié)"，然后以等速率升溫，同時(shí)記錄試樣經(jīng)檢流計(jì)短路的去極化電流隨溫度的變化關(guān)系，即得到TSDC譜。通過(guò)TSDC譜研究介質(zhì)材料中偶極子和可動(dòng)離子的性質(zhì)、激活能（或陷阱深度）、以及弛豫時(shí)間（壽命）等。

General FeaturesAll TSDC (Thermal Stimulated Depolarization Current) measurements are supported by computer control and Windows-based software WinTSDC. It operates the polarization voltage source, the polarization/depolarization mode switches, the high sensitive and fast electrometer for sensing the depolarization current and several temperature control systems. Nearly any kind of TSDC experiment can be programmed by a flexible experiment set-up procedure. The experiment is defined by a series of time intervals. During each time interval, the polarization voltage and temperature is either defined as fixed value or with a continuously change in time (ramp). The system may be switched in each time interval between the polarization and depolarization current measurement mode. In addition to this general experiment set-up mode, predefined set-ups like e. g. batch modes for series of TSDC sweeps with different heating rates are supported.The basic TSDC parameters, like depolarization current as a function of temperature are evaluated and displayed graphically in single or multicurve representation and exported numerically. In another representation, the experiment state defined by polarization voltage, temperature and depolarization current is shown as a function of time.Optional Thermal WindowingIn addition to the standard TSDC functions, the thermal windowing technique can be performed by the TSDC system, which is requiring additional experiment conditions and optional software.It supports data manipulation functions like shifting, deleting of data points, and confining and smoothing of data curves. The main function of this software is the evaluation of relaxation maps from a thermal windowing experiment. The sample polarization is calculated by numerical integration from the measured depolarization current. Several procedures for integration and base line corrections are supported. After the conversion of the polarization and depolarization current into the relaxation time, the common relaxation maps are created. They show the single Debye relaxation modes in several representations like e. g. Arrhenius or a free energy diagram. Several curve fitting model functions like Arrhenius, Vogel Fulcher and Williams Landel Ferry (WLF) for the relaxation time data are supported.
