Which accounts? Is it from the model that Pease suggested (extra RC across the cap) in the article I linked or is there another source for this model? I don't recall ever seeing a definitive description anywhere else, but I would love to find one.As John said, by all accounts for more than the past 40 years.
DA is hardly any mystery. It was pretty well described over 60 years ago and its fundamental behavior is accurately modeled as John said by a number of series RC circuits in parallel with the main capacitance.
Which is why I have to ask why some people go apeshit over DA and make it out to be this demon that's horribly distorting audio signals.
A good comprehensive overview of DA can be found in Kundert's Modeling Dielectric Absorption in Capacitors.
