Capacitance switching effect in one-component electrographic developer

Step-wise capacitance increase with voltage (C-switching) effect has been experimentally and theoretically investigated in the case of one-component electrographic developer powder pressed in tablet-shape samples. Peculiarities of capacitance (current)-voltage characteristics as well as frequency dependences of components of complex dielectric constant indicate thatC-switching effect is related to the extent of ferromagnetic carrier capsulation by polymeric compound. The application possibilities of theC-switching effect have been proposed.     

La3+,Sr2+置换对Ca[(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.6Ti0.4]O3陶瓷微波介电性能的影响

研究了La^3＋，Sr^2＋置换对Ca[（Mg1/3Nb2/3）0.6Ti0.4]O3陶瓷微观结构与微波介电性能的影响。研究结果表明：La^3＋，Sr^2＋置换改性Ca[（Mg1/3Nb2/3）0.6Ti0.4]O3系列陶瓷均形成了单一正交系的钙钛矿结构；随着置换量的增加，La^3＋改性Ca[（Mg1/3Nb2/3）0.6Ti0.4]O3陶瓷的介电常数、介电损耗下降，同时谐振频率温度系数向正的方向移动，而Sr^2＋改性陶瓷则表现出相反的规律，其主要原因在于La^3＋，Sr^2＋置换所引起Ca[（Mg1/3Nb2/3）0.6TiO4]O3陶瓷内部氧八面体结构变化上的差异。

3D flower-like heterostructured TiO2@Ni(OH)2 microspheres for solar photocatalytic hydrogen production

TiO₂@Ni(OH)₂ core-shell microspheres were synthesized by a facile strategy to obtain a perfect 3D flower-like nanostructure with well-arranged Ni(OH)₂ nanoflakes on the surfaces of TiO₂ microspheres; this arrangement led to a six-fold enhancement in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The unique p-n type heterostructure not only promotes the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers significantly, but also offers more active sites for photocatalytic hydrogen production. A photocatalytic mechanism is proposed based on the results of electrochemical measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Nd-doped barium titanate ceramics with various Ti/Ba ratios prepared by sol-gel method

The Nd-doped BaTiO3 nanocrystalline powders and ceramics with different Ti/Ba ratios were prepared by sol-gel method. Phases and microstructures of the Nd-doped BaTiO3 based powders and ceramics were characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM methods. The results revealed that the powders synthesized by sol-gel method were nanometer scale (30-60 nm) and were mainly composed of cubic BaTiO3 with a small amount of BaCO3. After sintering at high temperature, both cubic BaTiO3 and BaCO3 were transformed into tetrahedron BaTiO3 phase. The dielectric properties of the ceramics were also determined and the influence of Ti/Ba ratio on the dielectric properties was discussed. The Tc did not change with the variation of Ti/Ba ratio, while theεmax increased firstly and then decreased. The excess TiO2 is benefit for the modification of ceramics' microstructure and dielectric properties.     

Dielectric properties of propylene carbonate and propylene carbonate solutions

Permittivity data at frequencies from 0.9 to 12 GHz for propylene carbonate and for the solutions of NaI, NaClO₄, Bu₄NI, Bu₄NClO₄, ZnBr₂, and Ca(ClO₄)₂ in propylene carbonate at 25°C are reported and discussed. The contaminating influence of water on the dielectric spectra is shown. Measurements were executed by the method of travelling waves with equipment known to produce data of high precision. Evaluation of the data is performed on the basis of models presupposing one or more relaxation regions. The dielectric spectra of all salts with the exception of ZnBr₂ yield relaxation time distributions with a single critical relaxation time or can be analyzed by assuming two critical relaxation times for the solvent. ZnBr₂ solutions show a supplementary relaxation region at low frequencies which is attributed to the solute. The variation of permittivities at zero frequency with the salt concentration is discussed in the framework of kinetic depolarization. Solvation numbers are estimated.     

A critical point analysis of two phonon structure in the far infrared dielectric response of GaAs

The technique of asymmetric Fourier transform spectroscopy has been used to determine the complex relative permittivities of undoped GaAs at frequencies near the transverse optic mode. It is demonstrated that the anharmonic damping function calculated from these results is sensitive to two phonon processes excited by the anharmonic decay of the qO transverse optic phonon. Critical-point phonon frequencies are assigned from the structure revealed in damping function.     

A simple formula for the temperature dependence of the relaxation frequency in glassy systems

A simple,five-parameter empirical formula for the temperature dependence of the relaxation frequency is presented. It is shown that this formula reduces to the Arrhenius equation at higher temperatures and to the Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman equation at lower temperatures. Apart from parameters which may be obtained independently from either equation the proposed formula contains an additional parameter describing the sharpness of the transition between the regions of validity of Arrhenius or Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman equation. The applicability of the formula is tested on dielectric relaxation data of acrylic polymers and on other dielectric data available in the literature. The physical meaning of individual parameters is discussed.
