Abstract

A method is considered for calculating the distributions of the space-charge field and of the radiation-induced conduction current over the thickness of dielectric coatings, and of the potential of their open surface corrected for the space-charge field, during interactions with electrons and protons. This method is used to consider these quantities for a two-component Maxwellian distribution of the charged particles. The optimal thickness of coatings on artificial sttellites is also determined.
