Abstract

A non-contact measuring method on electrostatic potential by using α-ray ionization is proposed. In this method potential of a charged material is estimated from ionic current flowing through an ion collector attached with a small 241Am source. As hade electrode surrounding the collector has a function of adjusting sensitivity and potential up to 50 kV was measured with precision of 1 kV.
