33. The charges slightly remained after the interruption of the field application. These charges could represent the remaining ionic polarization. However, the charge density was very small. It was less than 0.5% of the density during the application.

35. 25 we discussed the doping effect, assuming space-charge-limited conduction. However, the observed space charge distribution did not support the assumption.
