A Study on Hall Voltage and Electrical Resistivity of Doped Conducting Polyaniline

We report the electrical resistivity of HCl doped polyaniline in the temperature range 77 T 300 K. A maximum is obtained in the conductivity versus concentration of HCl curve at 3(N) HCl. The resistivity of the sample has been observed to show a decreasing trend with increase in temperature. The resistivity obeys the Mott variable range hopping theory. The Mott characteristic temperature (T _Mott) is very low in this sample compared to other studies. The Hall voltages have been found to be negative. The Hall coefficient, carrier concentration, and density of states have been determined from Hall measurement. From the conductivity versus temperature plot, different physical quantities such as localisation length and molecular vibrational frequency have been determined.     

Functional evaluation of a liquid-molding two component combination resin

Functional parameters contributing to the recognizable good performance of a highly crosslinked olefinic polymer based on cyclopentadiene have been evaluated by a limited range of stress decay and creep recovery from a fixed deformation over constant time periods. The experimental design for these involved a calculated stress (load) at the initial sample deformation (displacement) for determination of changes in stress in bending mode and flex creep under applied load at three constant temperature segments of 6 h each with 20 min recovery time between segments. The results have identified a behavior which is typical of interfacial orientational effect in a two-component system. Thermal conductivity, heat capacity and density at the same temperatures were measured for determination of variations in thermal diffusivity as an indication of the competing effects of densification and thermal expansion for such a system.Static charging and polarization experiments were performed for evaluation of other desired uses of this material, in moving parts and in direct or induced voltage applications. The latter allows measurement of dynamic charge transport through the resin matrix. Calculations indicate generation of charge carriers from weak secondary bonding typical of polymer interlaces. The polarization itself consists of dipole orientation characterized by relatively high activation energy.The intrinsic mechanical properties for this material had been determined by the manufacturer, but the performance parameters reported in this study have been determined for the first time for exploration of further uses for this material.The author wishes to acknowledge the assistance provided by Ralph Pitman in the preparation of the samples for this work.     

Structure of hydrated clusters of tetrahydroisoquinoline [THIQ-(H2O)(n=1,3)] investigated by jet spectroscopy

The hydrated clusters of tetrahydroisoquinoline have been investigated by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), UV-UV hole burning, and IR-UV double-resonance spectroscopy in a seeded supersonic jet. Clusters of different sizes and isomeric structures have different 0-0 transitions (origins) in the LIF spectrum. UV-UV hole burning spectroscopy has been used to identify different cluster species and their vibrational modes. The structures of the clusters have been predicted by comparing the observed OH and NH frequencies in the IR-UV double-resonance spectra with the results calculated at different levels of sophistication. It is found that the water molecules form linear and six- and eight-membered cyclic H-bonded structures at the nitrogen center of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 clusters, respectively.     

NOR and NAND gates using two photon absorption in silicon wire waveguide

Ultrafast all-optical NOR gate based on two photon absorption (2PA) process in SOI waveguide is already established. We have designed NAND gate also based on this process with a novel waveguide coupler structure. Power attenuation due to 2PA process and the working of these gates is developed with FDTD simulation. Dominant 2PA process is incorporated in FDTD update equations and it is shown that the influence of high intensity pump pulses on a different frequency continuous probe beam can be utilized to form NOR as well as NAND gates.     

Supersymmetric Integrable Systems in (2 + 1) Dimensions and Their Backlund Transformation

Nonlinear integrable systems in (2 + 1)dimensions which are supersymmetric are generated in twodifferent ways. In one approach the homogeneous spacesof super-Lie algebra are used, and in the other we use a different technique of extending thedimension of the system. The two sets of equations turnout to be different. The methodologies ofDarbux–Backlund transformation and gaugetransformation are used to generate the Backlund transformations ofthese equations. An important result of our analysis isthe existence of purely fermionic nonlinear systems in(2 + 1) dimensions.
