It is shown that the occurrence of metallic conductivity in polymers is due to their electrification. In particular, the current density depends on the electron work function of metallic electrodes which are in contact with the polymer. 相似文献
Derivation of the elementary Fowler-Nordheim equation is based on several strong physical assumptions (e.g. smooth flat surface and uniform work function across emitting surface, constant emission area and a uniform distribution of the applied field over it). A real emitter, however, definitely does not fulfill these assumptions. In spite of it the total emission current follows the FN equation and is frequently used for an estimation of the "average" work-function. The physical basis of this procedure and of the terms "average" work function and "emission area" are analyzed from the experimentalist's point of view. Thus some of the older - more or less intuitive - conclusions are substantiated. 相似文献
Theoretical approaches to calculation of work function within jellium model and the problem of extension of this model to include the lattice corrections to the work function are briefly discussed. Lattice corrections to the work function obtained from the experiment are estimated and compared with those calculated theoretically.
It is found that the mean value of the experimental lattice correction <δψhkl>hkl compared to the mean work function is negligible. It is stated that the mean work function can be treated as a material constant characterizing a given metal, such as, e.g., binding energy.An expression for the dependence of jellium work function on rs, valid in a metallic range of rs, is given. A comparison between then theoretical and experimental results is presented and the role of correlation energy is examined. It is shown that more accurate approximations of the correlation energy than that given by Wigner's formula lead to a better agreement with experiment. A simple model is presented for explanation of work function changes on single crystal planes. Some recent results concerning the thermal dependence of work function are given. The dependence of the work function on the degree of coverage is discussed both for alkali and non-alkali atoms adsorption. Theoretical models are briefly reviewed and comparison between theory and experiment is made. A simple model is presented for explanation of the work function variation on rough planes in metallic non-alkali atoms chemisorption. 相似文献
This paper examines the imposition of local rules in five mail delivery centres of Australia Post. Local rules are patterns of behaviour used by subunits of an organization to optimise their payoff. These local rules may ultimately benefit the total organization. Fitness landscapes are used to examine the emergence of local rules in this workplace. This research examined the relationship between the time taken to sort the mail and the volume of this mail. Work rates show a clear catastrophe shift; that is, work rates suddenly drop when the volume of mail exceeds a certain level, as Postal Delivery Officers apply local rules to maximise gains inherent in the pay structures. Such behaviour is close to that predicted by Kauffman (1995) in computer simulations of lattices and may be indicative of the application of local rules in organizations. The implications of the use of local rules are that behaviour in social systems may be dictated by systemic and emergent processes which are outside immediate management control. A further implication is that organizations may be structured to a significant extent by such local rules. 相似文献
According to the basic idea of classical yin-yang complementarity and modern dual-complementarity, in a simple and unified way proposed by Luo, some basic principles in the dynamic theory of viscoelastic materials with voids can be estab- lished systematically. In this paper, an important integral relation in terms of con- volutions is given, which can be considered as the generalized principle of virtual work in mechanics. Based on this relation, it is possible not only to obtain the principle of virtual work and the reciprocal theorem, but also to derive systemati- cally the complementary functionals for the eight-field, six-field, four-field simpli- fied Gurtin-type variational principles and the potential energy-functional for the two-field one in the dynamic theory of viscoelastic materials with voids by the generalized Legendre transformations given in this paper. Furthermore, with this approach, the intrinsic relationship among various principles can be explained clearly. 相似文献
Density functional calculations have been used to investigate the (0 0 1) surface of cubic SrZrO3 with both SrO and ZrO2 termination. Surface structure and electronic structure have been obtained. The SrO surface is found to be similar to its counterpart in SrTiO3, while there are marked differences between the ZrO2 and TiO2 terminations in SrZrO3 and SrTiO3, respectively, concerning surface relaxation and rumpling. For the ZrO2-terminated surface of SrZrO3, the covalency of the interaction between the outmost Zr and the O beneath is enhanced as a result of their bond contraction. The band gap reduction and the presence of the surface states are also discussed in relation with the behavior of the electrostatic potential. 相似文献
The electronic structure and the electron dynamics of the clean InAs(1 1 1)A 2 × 2 and the InAs(1 1 1)B 1 × 1 surfaces have been studied by laser pump-and-probe photoemission spectroscopy. Normally unpopulated electron states above the valence band maximum (VBM) are filled on the InAs(1 1 1)A surface due to the conduction band pinning above the Fermi level (EF). Accompanied by the downward band banding alignment, a charge accumulation layer is confined to the surface region creating a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG). The decay of the photoexcited carriers above the conduction band minimum (CBM) is originated by bulk states affected by the presence of the surface. No occupied states were found on the InAs(1 1 1)B 1 × 1 surface. This fact is suggested to be due to the surface stabilisation by the charge removal from the surface into the bulk. The weak photoemission intensity above the VBM on the (1 1 1)B surface is attributed to electron states trapped by surface defects. The fast decay of the photoexcited electron states on the (1 1 1)A and the (1 1 1)B surfaces was found to be τ1 1 1 A ? 5 ps and τ1 1 1 B ? 4 ps, respectively. We suggest the diffusion of the hot electrons into the bulk is the decay mechanism. 相似文献
