ABSTRACTA study was made of third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of new tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, using the degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) method, as well as complex quantum chemical calculations. To understand the physical nature of the optical nonlinearities, we separated their electronic and nuclear contributions. We found that the electronic contribution to these nonlinearities predominated. Our investigations suggest that TTF may be a highly promising material for nonlinear optics (NLO).

We report the room temperature thermal conductivity κ and thermal diffusivity α of polycrystalline La0.7Ca0.3-xSrxMnO3 for x = 0 to 0.1. The samples were prepared by heating at 1220 and 1320oC. The insulator-metal transition temperature, TIM and thermal diffusivity increased with Sr content. Phonon was the dominant contributor to thermal conductivity and the electronic contribution was less than 1%. Enhancement of electrical conductivity σ and thermal diffusivity for x ≥ 0.08 was observed in both series of samples. The grain size of the samples (28 to 46 µm) does not show any affect on the thermal and electrical properties.

Abstract Steady-state distributions of Au, Ag and Cu tracers in Pb wafers subjected to temperature gradients have been determined. The effective heats of transport were + 5.8 ± 1.1 for Ag, - 0.5 ± 0.3 for Au, and of the order of + 35 for Cu (all in kcal/mole, positive values denoting the impurity migrating to the cold side of the Pb wafer). No significant temperature dependence of the heats of transport could be detected. The results are difficult to reconcile with existing theories of the intrinsic and electronic contribution to the heat of transport.


The electronic contribution to the dynamical tensors is examined in more detail and the following results are obtained. First the electronic contribution is shown to be translationally invariant, secondly the assumption that this term can be approximately represented by a two-body interaction is shown to be equivalent to a rigid ion model, and finally this approximation is shown to become exact in the limit q = 0.

The authors examined the thermal and electrical transport properties of Tl7Sb2 at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 400 K. The crystal system of Tl7Sb2 is cubic with the lattice parameter a = 1.16053 nm and the space group is Im3m. The polycrystalline samples were prepared by melting stoichiometric amounts of thallium and antimony. Although, usually the thermal conductivity of thallium compounds is very low (<1 Wm-1K-1), that of Tl7Sb2 was relatively high (~13 Wm-1K-1 at room temperature). This is because of the large electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity.
