Transient processes in electric transport in the powder MoS2 samples

Abstract

The transient processes in the electric conduction of fine disperse 2D-MoS2 powder samples, occurring at changing voltages applied to the sample under the conditions of uniaxial compression, have been studied. The long-term transient changes in conduction occurring both after switching on and off the applied voltage were observed. The current–voltage characteristics have a hysteresis of branches corresponding to increasing and decreasing voltages. The observed results are explained within the frame of the migration (interlayer) polarization model.
