In this paper, we study the temperature dependence of the conductivity and the Hall coefficient near the metal–insulator phase transition. A theoretical investigation is performed within the effective mass approximation. The variational method is used to calculate the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the impurity states. Unlike previous studies, we have included nonlinear corrections to the screened impurity potential, because the Thomas–Fermi approximation is incorrect for the insulator phase. It is also shown that near the phase transition the exchange interaction is essential. The obtained temperature dependencies explain several experimental measurements in gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN). 相似文献
This work investigated the absorption characteristics of eight types of carpets that are especially designed and manufactured for masjids and two types of carpets pads. Measurements were carried out in the reverberation room according to ISO 354. Each type was tested three times: first when it was installed directly on the floor, second when it was installed above 5.7 mm of polyurethane foam, and last when it was installed above 10 mm of polyethylene foam. The results showed that the absorption coefficient is directly proportional to frequency and knot density. The results also demonstrated that adding pads of polyurethane or polyethylene foam increased the absorption, principally in the mid-frequency range. The effect of polyurethane foam on absorption was higher than that of polyethylene foam. Finally, the absorption coefficients of the examined carpets were found to be close to those of Muslim worshippers when they are in the position known as “standing in rows”. 相似文献
In this work, the thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of a composite containing spherical particles surrounded by an inhomogeneous interphase embedded in an isotropic matrix is evaluated by means of a new model. The thermomechanical properties of the interphase are formulated as continuous radial functions. It is assumed that this third phase developed between the polymeric matrix and the filler particles contains both areas of absorption interaction in polymer surface layers onto filler particles as well as areas of mechanical imperfections. It can be said that the concept of boundary interphase is a useful tool to describe quantitatively the adhesion efficiency between matrix and particles and that there is an effect of this phase on the thermomechanical properties of the composite. The thickness and volume fraction of this phase were determined from heat capacity measurements for various filler contents. On the other hand, it is assumed that the particle arrangement (distribution) which can be considered as an influence of neighboring inclusions and their interaction should affect the thermomechanical constants of the composite. The theoretical predictions were compared with experimental results as well as with theoretical values from expressions obtained from other workers and they were found to be in satisfactory agreement. 相似文献
Flexible and lead-free piezoelectric nanocomposites were synthesized with BaTiO3 nanowires (filler) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) (matrix), and the piezoelectric performances of the composites were systematically studied by varying the aspect ratio (AR) and volume fraction of the nanowire and poling time. BaTiO3 nanowires with AR of 18 were synthesized and incorporated into PVDF to improve the piezoelectric performance of the composites. It was found that high AR significantly increased the dielectric constant up to 64, which is over 800% improvement compared to those from the composites containing spheroid shape BaTiO3 nanoparticles. In addition, the dielectric constant and piezoelectric coefficient were also enhanced by increasing the concentration of BaTiO3 nanowires. The piezoelectric coefficient with 50-vol% BaTiO3 nanowires embedded in PVDF displayed 61 pC/N, which is much higher than nanocomposites with spheroid shape BaTiO3 nanoparticles as well as comparable to, if not better, other nanoparticle-filled polymer composites. Our results suggest that it is possible to fabricate nanocomposites with proper mechanical and piezoelectric properties by utilizing proper AR fillers. 相似文献
主要研究关于面板数据的有限阶固定效应的动态变系数回归模型(简称FDVCM)的统计推断问题.基于B-样条函数和广义矩估计(简称GMM)方法,首先建立了未知系数函数的非参数GMM估计,并证明大样本情形下该估计达到最优非参数收敛速度且具有渐近正态性质.然而实际问题中模型的动态阶数完全未知,也可能存在其它冗余的回归变量,文中借助文[Fan J,Li R.Variable selection via penalized likelihood and its oracle properties.Journal of the American Statistical Association,2001,96(456):1348-1360]中的smoothly clipped absolute deviation(简称SCAD)惩罚函数同时识别真实的动态阶数和显著的外生回归变量.同时建立了压缩估计的Oracle性质,即所识别的模型与真实模型中的参数估计具有相同的渐近分布.最后,无论是数值试验还是实例数据分析都验证了本文方法的合理性和可行性. 相似文献
The model and methodology for estimating diffusion‐controlled rate coefficients for the methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymerization system is extended to the vinyl acetate (VAc) case. Comparison of the kinetic behavior and termination rate coefficients (kt) of both monomers suggests that at low conversions the termination reaction is controlled by the chemical step, whereas at moderate and high conversions it is controlled by the diffusive step which in turn is determined by the segmental diffusion of the long radicals and not by the center of mass diffusion of short radicals. It is found that, for most of the conversion range, diffusion coefficient for VAc is lower than the one for MMA notwithstanding that ktVAc > ktMMA. An explanation of this apparent inconsistency on the base of the model results and in terms of segmental mobility is proposed.
