To be able to discuss the effect of on the relaxation we again refer to

has approximately the same value, but the relative relaxation
with respect to its very different
changes as depicted in Fig. 7.4
(bottom left). With a raise in the oxide electric field the recovery sets in late, but
proceeds faster. This effect is now explored by specifying the slopes of the first
(
) and second (
) logarithm, i.e. the short-term and long-term relaxation
behavior.
