This paper reports electrical conductivity (s) and Seebeck coefficient (s) study on rare-earth nickelates RNiO3 where R = Nd, Sm and Eu in the temperature range 400-1200 K. They have orthorhombic unit cell. The majority charge carriers are holes throughout the measurement. Both s and S variations show three regions. In higher temperature region (Above 1000K) dominant conduction mechanism is intrisic band type whereas below this temperature, hopping of holes from Ni3+ to Ni2+ centres takes place. In lower temperature region, the electrical conductions is taken over by acceptor type impurities. The conduction mechanism is explained on the basis of every band model. Break temperatures as well as mobility have also been evaluated.

ZnO nanostructures have been synthesized on graphite substrates by thermal evaporation of ZnO powder without a metal catalyst at a temperature of 1300. The colors of the as-synthesized products gradually change from white and brown to gray as the distance from the source material increases. ZnO particles were formed at higher temperature region. ZnO particles gradually changed into ZnO nanowire as the temperature decreased. Finally, ZnO nanowires disappeared completely and only Zn particles were observed at lower temperature region.

The waterborne polyurethane/nano-silica composites (WPU/nano-silica, WPUS) and WPU composites modified by polyethersiloxanediol (WPUPES) were prepared, respectively. The properties of WPUS and WPUPES were investigated by various characterizations. The results showed both WPUS and WPUPES had better waterproof property and thermal stability than neat WPU. However, WPUPES has a lower elongation at break due to the higher micro-phase separation. This is ascribed to migration and aggregation of siloxane segments during the film formation. The tensile strength of WPUS was higher than that of neat WPU. This is attributed to the WPUS chain restriction caused by the network and physical cross-link points of nano-silica particles. Moreover, the glass transition temperature of WPUS shifted to higher temperature region while that of WPUPES shifted to lower temperature region.

( La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 12 nm/ BiFeO 3 12 nm)10 was grown on SrTiO 3 (001) substrate using rf magnetron sputtering. The structure analysis indicated that BiFeO 3/ La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 multilayers were highly (001)-oriented. Compared with bottom La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 electrode, the top La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 electrode displayed a rougher surface. The electric transport characteristics of the sample were investigated mainly at low temperature, and it was found that the sample exhibited resistance–temperature curves similar to those of La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 with the exception of an upturn at lower temperature region. Furthermore, a nonlinear I–V curve, which is characteristic of a tunneling conduction mechanism, was observed at 50 K. At higher temperature, the I–V curves were found to be diode-like. When the temperature was further increased to 300 K, the sample showed a space charge limited conduction (SCLC) characteristic.

In this paper, kappa distribution of electronic energy is discussed for non-Maxwellian distribution. Taking silicon III 189.2 nm line in solar atmospheric plasma as an example, we discuss the kappa distribution and the Maxwellian distribution when temperature varies from [Formula: see text] K to [Formula: see text] K, and we calculate the averaged collision strengths of the kappa distribution and the Maxwellian distribution. Results indicate that the kappa distribution is close to the Maxwellian distribution with the increase of parameter [Formula: see text], and the difference of the averaged collision strength between the kappa distribution and the Maxwellian distribution is not very large in the higher temperature region from [Formula: see text] K to [Formula: see text] K, while that is large in the lower temperature region from [Formula: see text] K to [Formula: see text] K. This discussion will be significant in study of plasma quantitatively.

A summary is presented of a series of investigations of the radiolytic decomposition of ortho- and meta-terphenyl by reactor radiation with varying proportions of fast neutrons and gamma rays and of meta-terphenyl by 1.3 MeV electrons in the temperature range 100 to 450 °C with radiation intensities from 0.01 to 2 Mrads/s. The observations indicate two regions of radiolytic decomposition with a transition zone at 350 to 400 °C. In the lower temperature region, G(decomposition) varied little with temperature, increased with linear energy transfer (l.e.t.), was independent of intensity, and yielded mainly high boiling products. Particular attention was given to the high temperature region, where G(decomposition) increased rapidly with temperature, was independent of l.e.t., was greater at low intensities than at high intensities, increased with increased pulse frequency for intermittent irradiation, and yielded a greater proportion of benzene and biphenyl. Thermally initiated reaction appeared unimportant except in the absence of radiation. A reaction sequence is given which accounts for these observations in terms of reactions of radical precursors and radicals of the cyclohexadienyl type. A chain reaction occurs in the higher temperature region.

The dielectric permittivity and AC conductivity of the perovskite-like system [(NH3)(CH2)6(NH3)]FexZn1-xCl4 (HDAFxZ1-x), where x=1, 0.8, 0.5 and 0, were measured at different frequencies in the temperature range 100 K<T<430 K. At temperatures below 273 K, for x=1 the material exhibits a transition at (245±1) K, while for x=0 transitions at (155±5) K, (220±4) K and (255±2) K were found. A rotational-type transition in the range 295 - 305 K was found for the Fe-containing materials. Ferroelectric transitions were observed in the high temperature region for all four concentrations. Differential thermal scanning confirmed the existence of the phase transitions above room temperature. The conductivity decreases with Zn addition, an the conduction mechanism varies with the temperature and concentration. Extrinsic conduction prevails for T<150 K for all concentrations. At intermediate temperatures an Arrhenius relation with frequency dependent activation energy (ΔE=0.46 - 0.06 eV) is observed for Fecontaining materials. The frequency dependent conductivity for all materials has a linear response following the power law: σac=A(T) ·ωS(T) with the exponent s varying with temperature and composition. At high temperatures, for Zn-rich materials series type conduction with s ∼ 0.6±0.1 is identified, while for Fe-rich materials band type conduction prevails. In the low temperature region ionic hopping prevails.

ABSTRACTThe effect of microstructure on the electrical conductivity of SrCO0.8Fe0.2O3_δ (SCFO) was investigated in air using a four-point dc method. In the test temperature range of 200 to 900 °C, the electrical conductivity of this material was observed to increase with the increase of the average grain size in the lower temperature region where the conductivity increases with the increase of the temperature. The activation energy is decreased with the increase of the grain size in this region, 0.04 ± 0.004 ev for 4.1μm sample and 0.01 ± 0.001 ev for 14.8 μm sample. When temperature is further increased, the conductivity of this material decreases with the increase of the temperature, and the grain size effect becomes less noticeable.

The steady state measurements in Liquid crystalline polyurethane (LCPU) have been investigated for different fields (4 - 45 kV/cm) and temperatures (50°-220°C). The nature of conduction processes has been determined by estimating ion jump distances (a) and Schottky coefficients. The order of magnitude of a in the temperature region 150°C and below does not seem to support an ionic conduction. However the magnitude of a at higher temperatures (180°C and above) indicates the possibility of ionic conduction. There is a definite possibility of a Schottky type conduction at lower temperature and a Poole Frankel type conduction at higher temperature (100°C). The activation energy associated with the high temperature region lies between 0.26 eV and 0.65 eV depending on the field whereas in the low temperature region the activation energy lies between 0.82 eV and 0.95 eV depending on the applied electric field. The dual slopes in the log I versus 1/T curves indicate the presence of more than one type of trapping levels.
