Effect of Chemical Impurities on the Solid State Physics of Polyethylene

Computational quantum mechanics in the frame work of density functional theory (DFT) was used to investigate the effect of chemical impurities on high field conduction in polyethylene (PE). The impurity states in the band gap caused by common chemical impurities were characterized in terms of their...
