Well-known, that high-resistance materials have ability to accumulate a
charge injected in them by an electron beam. It results in a deflection
of the beam from a given trajectory. A model that describes a relaxation
of the charge in a bulk of irradiated target is presented. Following
relaxation mechanisms are involved in the model: diffusion, drift,
processes of generation and recombination of electron-hole pairs and
capture carriers on traps. Presented model gives a good opportunity to
calculate an electric field in environmental space and a leakage current
from a specimen. On the basis of comparison of simulation results with
experimental data it is established, that the relaxation of a positive
charge in organic dielectrics is determined by speed of a devastation of
the traps located near to a surface of an irradiated target, and a
relaxation of negative carriers - by more complex mechanism which is
taking into account except for traps also Maxwell relaxation in a bulk of
the specimen.
