Lunar sample electrical propertiesElectrical conductivity and dielectric constant measurements have been performed in vacuum on solid and soil samples over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies. The temperature dependence and the frequency response of the dielectric properties together with the temperature dependence of the DC conductivity have permitted us to propose a mathematical model describing the mechanisms controlling the electrical properties. In general, each lunar sample has several distributed mechanisms, each mechanism dominant in a particular temperature range.
