Abstract

The charging and discharging processes in a-quartz sandwiched between two blocking contacts are studied by solving numerically the transport equations. Results for the transient current are in good agreement with experiment. The rotation of crystallographic planes upon the application of an electric field is also quantitatively justified through results of the spatial distribution of the electric field.
