Charge accumulation and migration can be studied using the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method to directly measure internal charge distributions in dielectric materials. This study aims to compare measurements using PEA systems constructed in labs at Utah State University and Université Paul Sabatier to establish confidence in comparing PEA results between different PEA systems. While there is good agreement in data measured for pristine samples with DC bias applied and no charge embedded, there are discrepancies in the data when measuring irradiated samples with embedded charge. The overall characteristics of charge distributions measured with both systems is clearly the same, but …
