Abstract
Process for charging a structure formed from an insulating body sandwiched between two electrodes. In the process a Faraday cage is placed in contact with one of the electrodes of the structure, the potential of the other electrode being made equal to a reference potential. Electrons originating from a controlled electron emission device are introduced into the Faraday cage, the electrons reaching the electrode with which the Faraday cage is in contact to charge the structure. Such a process may find particular application for determining properties of insulating materials.
