WinTSC

WinTSC Analysis andControl Software
WinTSC is Novocontrol’s Windows™ soft­ware package for performing andevaluating all important types of TSC(Thermally Stimulated DepolarizationCurrent) and conductivity measure­ments in the temp­erature and time do­mains.
WinTSC controls the polarization voltage
source, the polarization/depolarization
mode switches, the electrometer forsensing the depolarization current andseveral temperature control systems.
Nearly any kind of TSC and conductivity
measurement may be selected in ahightly flexible experiment set­up proce­dure.
Base experiments are defined by aseries of time intervals. During each timeinterval, the polarization voltage andtemperature is either defined by a fixedvalue or by a continuous change in time
(ramp). At the beginning of each timeinterval, the system may be switched
into the polarization, depolarization curr­ent or conductivity measurement mode.
Within multi­dimensional experiments,base experiments can be repeated as afunction of various free variables likee.g., temperature, temperature ramp
speed or polarisation voltage.

Features
Experiments for material measurements:• thermally stimulated depolarization• thermally stimulated polarization• isothermal polarization time domain• isothermal conductivity time domain• relaxation map isotherm• relaxation map thermal window
Supported free variables:• temperature, polarization voltage,polarization time and others
Multidimensional experiments:• up to four free variables arranged in arbitraryorder of execution
Data evaluation, export, and graphics:• evaluation of current, current density, Δ­
charge, Δ­polarization, and Δ­permittivity• export of multi­dimensional data sets invarious flexible text formats• online, 2D multi­curve, 3D plane, time log andstatus graphics windows

Available TSC SolutionsNovocontrol offers TSC solutions both as
turnkey stand­alone systems and as
extensions to broadband dielectric
spectrometers. In the latter case, bothmethods are available in a single system.
A complete turnkey TSC set­up consists of aan electrometer, sample cell, temperature
control system, and a Windows­based
computer running WinTSC.

Applications
Many key aspects of materials properties,e.g., molecular relaxations, phase transitions,
glass temperatures, rate of curing, etc., areinvestigated by TSC and related techniques
supported by WinTSC.
