Zerstörungsfreie risstiefenbestimmung in Betonbauwerken mittels Radiotracerverfahren

At the Leipzig Technical University a method was developed, which allows to determine nondestructive the crack depth in concrete up to 15 cm. Based on a radiotracer technique the access to only one side of the object is required. The labelling of artificial-made cracks was carried out by use of a transport medium (not miscible with water) on the base of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and In- 113m as radionuclide. For the calculation of crack depth, measure-geometrical parameters were used. The improvement of the reliability of building-diagnostical interpretation using radio-physical parameters is described. A first application is provided for concrete structures below chemical equipments built as a barrier against ecologically harmful substances (petrol tanks). The intersectional aspect of further qualifications of the technique is emphasized.     

Ionic conductivity of PVdF-co-HFP/LiClO4 in terms of free volume defects probed by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy

ABSTRACT

Polymers based on ionic conducting materials have important interest because of their potential applications in polymer electrolytes and membranes for fuel cell application. PVdF-co-HFP poly(viniliden-co-hexafluoropropylene) was chosen as a polymer matrix because of its high ionic conductivity and better mechanical properties. Polymer matrix composites were prepared with various amounts of LiClO₄ salt by a solution casting method. The sample-ionic conductivity measurements were recorded by AC impedance analyzer at different frequencies from 0.1?Hz to 20?MHz and at different temperatures from 273 to 373?K.

The changes of nanoscopic free volume and free volume fraction in these materials were investigated in terms of temperature from 273 to 373?K using Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) and Simha-Somcynsky (SS) Hole Theory. The free volume had a bump at about 3% in weight percentage of the salt and there is a slight increase after 10%. The effects of weight percentages of LiClO₄ and temperature were investigated. The mechanism of the ac ionic conductivity was presented in terms of the free volume models, however thermo-occupancy function justifies the best accurate representation of the data.     

Correlation between phase structure and electrical conduction in BISNVOX system for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC)

Samples of Sn⁴⁺-substituted bismuth vanadate, formulated as Bi₄Sn _x V_{2? x} O_{11?( x /2)? δ} in the composition range 0.07 ≤ x ≤ 0.30, were prepared by standard solid-state reactions. Sample characterization and the principal phase transitions (α ? β, β ? γ and γ′ ? γ) were investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis (DTA) and AC impedance spectroscopy. For composition x = 0.07, the α ? β and β ? γ phase transitions were observed at temperatures of 451 and 536°C, respectively. DTA thermograms and Arrhenius plots of conductivities revealed the γ′ ? γ phase transition at 411 and 423°C for x = 0.20 and 0.30, respectively. AC impedance plots showed that conductivity is mainly due to the grain contribution, which is evident in the enhanced short-range diffusion of oxide ion vacancy in the grains with increasing temperature. The highest ionic conductivity (5.03 × 10^?5 S cm^?1 at 300°C) was observed for the x = 0.17 solid solution with less pronounced thermal hysteresis.

氯化钠水溶液结构的研究

利用上海光源(SSRF)的第三代同步辐射光源测定室温下摩尔浓度分别为0.172 mol/L、0.343 mol/L、0.699 mol/L、1.064 mol/L、2.832 mol/L、3.910 mol/L、5.289 mol/L的NaCl水溶液的X射线散射数据。由X射线散射数据可知,随着NaCl水溶液浓度的增大,X射线散射曲线的特征峰由12.6°到13.4°发生偏移。运用Pair Distribution Function(PDF)理论对X射线散射数据进行处理,得到了不同浓度NaCl水溶液及纯水的差值对分布函数,其中的O-O峰随着浓度的增大逐渐分裂为两峰,O-O峰位在0.282 nm处。利用分子动力学模拟研究不同浓度的NaCl水溶液,表明Na+、Cl-的引入对水分子的氢键结构有一定的破坏,当浓度大于15%时,这种效果尤其明显。Na+、Cl-均存在两层水化层,各离子间配位数随浓度的增大而减少。H2O分子的自扩散系数远大于Na+和Cl-的自扩散系数,后两者的值随浓度的增大逐渐减少,Na+和Cl-的水化半径均随浓度增大而降低。     

Effect of the crystal potential on electronic polarizabilities of ions in alkaline earth chalcogenides

The electronic polarizabilities of ions in alkaline earth chalcogenides are estimated by taking account of the effect of the crystalline potential. The polarizabilities thus obtained are found to present a good agreement with experimental data. It has been shown that the polarizabilities and radii of alkaline earth and chalcogenide ions follow the polarizability-radius cube relation approximately well.     

Nonequilibriurn discontinuous phase transitions in a fast ionic conductor model: Coexistence and spinodal lines

Two-dimensional lattice-gas models with attractive interactions and particle-conserving hopping dynamics under the influence of a very large external electric field along a principal axis are studied in the case of off-critical densities. We describe the corresponding nonequilibrium first-order phase transitions, evaluate coexistence and spinodal lines, and make some comparisons with experimental observations on fast ionic conductors.See Ref. 1 (henceforth referred to as II) for references.     

High pressure transport behaviour of AgI-Ag2O-MoO3 glasses and the cluster model

The effect of pressure on the conductivity of fast ion conducting AgI-Ag₂O-MoO₃ glasses has been investigated down to 150 K. The observed variation of conductivities appears to support the application of cluster model to the ionic glasses. Contribution No. 258 from the Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit.     

Characterization of NOx species in dehydrated and hydrated Na- and Ba-Y, FAU zeolites formed in NO2 adsorption

Adsorbed ionic NO_x species formed upon the interaction of NO₂ with dehydrated or hydrated Na- and Ba-Y, FAU zeolites were characterized using FT-IR/TPD, solid state NMR, and XANES techniques. NO₂ disproportionates on both dehydrated catalyst materials forming NO⁺ and NO₃⁻ species. These ionic species are stabilized by their interactions with the negatively charged zeolite framework and the charge compensating cations (Na⁺ and Ba²⁺), respectively. Although the nature of the adsorbed NO_x species formed on the two catalysts is similar, their thermal stabilities are strongly dependent on the charge compensating cations. In the presence of water in the channels of these zeolite materials new paths open for reactions between NO⁺ and H₂O, and NO₂ and H₂O, resulting in significant changes in the adsorbed ionic species observed. These combined spectroscopic investigations afforded the understanding of the interactions between water and NO₂ on these zeolite catalysts.
