12314 IUPAC Gold Book - thermally stimulated current 10.1351/goldbook.12314 12314 current initialism: TSC 1 Electrical current observed during heating and caused by the thermally initiated relaxation of the frozen-in electrical polarization of a sample. By extension, the same name and abbreviation (TSC) are given to the thermal analysis technique based on the measurement of this current. thermally stimulated depolarization https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/12315 PAC, 2014, 86, 545.
