Abstract :
Various areas of application of thermo-stimulated current (TSC) spectroscopy, used for studying insulating materials, are reviewed. The characteristics of this technique are compared with those of the other thermally stimulated spectroscopies. The origins of TSC are briefly cited. Examples of the identification of TSC peaks with ionic or molecular movements (inorganic or organic materials) are given.<>
