ABSTRACTElectrical resistivity measurements of the superconductor La1.80sr0.20CuO4-δ over a Wide range of temperatures and oxygen concentration, together with the analysis of superconducting properties of the material, indicate that the ceramic superconductors are high < materials in the clean limit. The granular superconducting behavior is determined by the oxygen content.

A side-entry type, helium-temperature specimen stage that has the capability of in-situ electrical-resistivity measurements has been designed and developed for use in the AEI-EM7 1200-kV electron microscope at Argonne National Laboratory. The electrical-resistivity measurements complement the high-voltage electron microscope (HVEM) to yield a unique opportunity to investigate defect production in metals by electron irradiation over a wide range of defect concentrations.A flow cryostat that uses helium gas as a coolant is employed to attain and maintain any specified temperature between 10 and 300 K. The helium gas coolant eliminates the vibrations that arise from boiling liquid helium and the temperature instabilities due to alternating heat-transfer mechanisms in the two-phase temperature regime (4.215 K). Figure 1 shows a schematic view of the liquid/gaseous helium transfer system. A liquid-gas mixture can be used for fast cooldown. The cold tip of the transfer tube is inserted coincident with the tilt axis of the specimen stage, and the end of the coolant flow tube is positioned without contact within the heat exchanger of the copper specimen block (Fig. 2).

ABSTRACT. The geotechnical description of sandy sediments of the surf zone was done in two ways: directly, through standard geotechnical testing proposed by ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and indirectly, through electrical resistivity measurements. The geotechnical property chosen for the description of the sediment was porosity, due to its influence in a wide range of soil properties. The indirect estimate of porosity through resistivity measurements was based on Archie’s equation. However, the difficulty in generalizing this equation is the empirical determination of the cementation exponent (m). For this reason, the values proposed by other authors were tested. A comparison of the porosity values obtained by the two methods (directly and indirectly using different values for cementation exponent) showed that it is not advisable to use cementation exponent (e) from other authors indiscriminately. Moreover, the application of the porosity values obtained by the ASTM tests allowed calculating a more suitable cementation exponent value for sandy sediments of the surf zone (between 1.48 and 1.79). Besides porosity, other geotechnical parameters, such as void ratio (e) and total density (rt ), were also differentiated by measuring the electrical resistivity of selected samples allowing to describe the geotechnical state of the sediment with higher confidence.Keywords: Electrical Resistivity; Coastal Engineering; Archie’s Equation; Porosity; Grain Size.RESUMO. A descrição geotécnica dos sedimentos arenosos da zona de arrebentação foi feita de duas maneiras: diretamente, através de ensaios geotécnicos padrão, propostos pela ASTM (Sociedade Americana de Testes e Materiais) e indiretamente, através de medidas de eletrorresistividade. A propriedade geotécnica escolhida para a descrição do sedimento foi a porosidade, por ser uma variável importante na caracterização das propriedades do solo. A estimativa indireta da porosidade através de medidas de resistividade foi baseada na equação de Archie. Entretanto, a principal dificuldade em generalizar esta equação é a determinação empírica do expoente de cimentação (m). Por esse motivo, os valores propostos por outros autores foram testados. Uma comparação dos valores de porosidade obtidos pelos dois métodos (direta e indiretamente, usando diferentes valores para o expoente de cimentação) mostrou que não é aconselhável usar expoente de cimentação (m) de outros autores indiscriminadamente. Além disso, a aplicação dos valores de porosidade obtidos pelos testes ASTM permitiu o cálculo de um valor para o expoente de cimentação mais adequado para sedimentos arenosos da zona de arrebentação (entre 1,48 e 1,79). Além da porosidade, outros parâmetros geotécnicos, como índice de vazios (e) e densidade total (rt ), também foram diferenciados pela medição da resistividade elétrica de amostras selecionadas, permitindo descrever o estado geotécnico do sedimento com maior confiança.Palavras-chave: Eletrorresistividade; Engenharia Costeira; Equação de Archie; Porosidade; Granulometria.

In the paper, regarded SiO2-Al2O3-B2O3-RO system as basic composition, high-temperature glass glaze was prepared successfully by using Bi2O3 in place of Al2O3, and traditional melt annealing method was adopted .The influence of Bi2O3 on expansion coefficient, sintering temperature, electrical resistivity was investigated by DIL-2008, SJY sintering imager, Keythley2410. The results show that the sintering temperature of glass glaze has a wide range, which can reach 270°C, so it is easy to sinter; with the increasing of bismuth oxide content, expansion coefficient of glass glaze gradually increases, whereas sintering temperature and electrical resistivity continuously decreases.

Bi1.7-Pb0.3-Sr2-Ca2-Cu3-Ox superconducting samples were prepared at 855°C, 862 C, 870 C, and 882 C sintering temperatures respectively. All samples were sintered for 120 hours. The samples were then quenched in liquid nitrogen. The electrical resistivity measurements showed that the samples sintered at 870° C had the best Tc. For these samples the Tc onset was around 120 K and the zero resistance was obtained at 108 K. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the samples were multiphased.
