Well this is interesting. The homemade diode current just tested a few minutes ago has made a jump to 20.6pA. Is this caused by an "energy jump?" This jumping to various levels has been been observer numerous times in diode experiments, but has always settled down at ~ 10pA.
It should be pointed out that there was a change in the setup where the element has not been shorted, but connected to the 165 Mohm load. It is now shorted again.
It's possible the homemade diode still has a small amount of remaining *stored* energy, and releases this above the 10pA constant by jumping to the next energy level, 20pA. And perhaps when this stored energy is released, it will drop back down to 10pA.
I don't view the 10pA of current (@ whatever voltage) that occurs over time as a release of *stored* energy. It's a stream of energy that seems to come from an endless reservoir beyond the component / element.
