Zinc oxide varistors are commercially important discrete components             used for surge protection of electronic circuits and electric                   machinery.  The presence of deep electron traps within the zinc oxide           grains could influence the response time by acting as one of the                factors which might affect the rate at which the depletion zones                surrounding the grain boundaries narrow prior to breakdown.  Admittance         spectroscopy will be used to characterize trap energy, density,                 emission rate, and capture cross section on commercial and specially            fabricated varistors.  The information will be correlated with I-V              properties and voltage response times to meet the objective and,                additionally, provide an extended understanding of electronic ceramics          in general.
