A brief semi-quantitative discussion on electrical conductance through resonant states in metallic electrochemical nanowires

Some aspects of electrical conduction through resonant states in metallic electrochemical nanowires are briefly discussed in a semi-quantitative way by means of concepts associated with electron gas, conductance quantization, and Fermi energy level. Aspects related to some experimental data are also discussed.

The analysis of thermal stresses in thermopiezoelastic semi-infinite body with an edge crack

Summary  Thermopiezoelastic materials have recently attracted considerable attention because of their potential use in intelligent or smart structural systems. The governing equations of a thermopiezoelastic medium are more complex due to the intrinsic coupling effects that take place among mechanical, electrical and thermal fields. In this analysis, we deal with the problem of a crack in a semi-infinite, transversely isotropic, thermopiezoelastic material by means of potential functions and Fourier transforms under steady heat-flux loading conditions. The problem is reduced to a singular integral equation that is solved. The thermal stress intensity factor for a crack situated in a cadmium selenide material is calculated.

Pressure and temperature effects on the excess deuteron and proton conductance

The limiting molar conductances ° of deuterium chloride DCl in D₂O were determined as a function of pressure and temperature in order to examine the proton-jump mechanism in detail. The excess deuteron conductances °_E(D ⁺), as estimated by the equation [°_E(D ⁺) = °(DCl/D ₂ O) – °(KCl/D ₂ O)], increases with an increase in the pressure and temperature as well as the excess proton conductance [°_E(H ⁺) = °(HCl/H ₂ O) – °(KCl/H ₂ O)]. The isotope effect on the excess conductances, however, depends on the pressure and temperature contrary to the model proposed by Conway et al.: °_E(H ⁺)/°_E(D ⁺) decreases with increasing pressure and temperature. The magnitude of the decrease with pressure becomes more prominent at lower temperature. These results are discussed in terms of the pre-rotation of adjacent water molecules, the bending of hydrogen bonds with pressure, and the difference in strength of hydrogen bonds between D₂O and H₂O.     

Thec logc contribution to the electrolyte conductance and Onsager's reciprocal relation

The differential equations and the boundary conditions for the nonequilibrium binary distribution function of an unsymmetrical binary electrolyte are derived from the Ebeling-Falkenhagen continuity equation. The connection between the Onsager reciprocal relation and the binary distribution functions is shown. Further, Feistel's result for thec logc contribution to the conductance is extended to unsymmetrical binary electrolytes. The reason for the difference between Feistel's and Chen'sc logc term is explained, and the significance of Onsager's reciprocal relation for the calculation ofc logc and higher-concentration contributions of the conductance is discussed.     

Conductance studies in amide-water mixtures. II. Sodium salts inN,N-dimethylformamide-water mixtures at 35°C

Conductance data for sodium nitrite, chloride, and acetate in water andN,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)-water mixtures (74.82D42.48) for the concentration range 0.001–0.04N, as well as the densities, viscosities, and dielectric constants of the solvent mixtures at 35°C, are reported. The data have been analyzed by the Fuoss (1975) equation. The existence of a maximum in the viscosity at a 13 mole ratio of DMF and water is indicated. The Walden products for all the three salts pass through a maximum while the equivalent conductances show a minimum with increasing DMF content. The maxima in the Walden product are attributed to the dehydration of ions by the cosolvent (DMF).Part I:Indian J. Chem. 14A, 1015 (1976).Deceased.     

The formation of cation-ligand complexes of tributylammonium cation with diethyl carbonate,ethylene carbonate,propylene carbonate, 4-butyrolactone,ethyl acetate,and cyclopentanone ino-dichlorobenzene at 25°C

The effects of adding millimolar quantities of a series of compounds containing the carbonyl function on the conductances of solutions (0.2 mM) of tri-n-butylammonium picrate ino-dichlorobenzene solvent at 25°C have been measured. Values of the complex formation constants K ₁ ⁺ for 1:1 cation-ligand complexes are derived from these data. The corresponding values of –G ₁ ⁰ at 25°C are (in kcal-mole ^–1 ): 4-butyrolactone, 4.29; propylene carbonate, 3.87; ethylene carbonate, 3.59; cyclopentanone, 3.42; ethyl acetate, 2.84; and diethyl carbonate, 2.78. These results together with earlier results from this laboratory are discussed in terms of the effects of structure on cation-ligand affinity.     

An investigation of the aggregation and water-air interfacial behaviour of a cationic tentacle molecule

The aggregation and air-water interface properties of a three-legged tentacle molecule tris (11-pyridinium undec-1-yl)benzene-1, 3, 5-tricarboxylate tribromide have been investigated by measurement of the molar conductance, , and equilibrium surface tensin,, over a wide range of bulk concentration (8×10^–6 – 0.3 M). In contrast to the single chain analogue, dodecyl pyridinium bromide, DDPB, the tentacle species shows no evidence for a conventional micellar transition in solutions up to 100 fold more concentrated than the critical micelle concentration of DDPB, though aggregation of small numbers of molecules cannot be excluded. The conductance behaviour suggests the occurrence of ion-pair (or higher) equilibria, which are likely to complicate the interpretation of the data. Also, in contrast to a previous tentacle molecule described in the literature, the present species is significantly surface active, and in the high concentration limit reduces to <30 mNm^–1, significantly lower than the values obtained for simple ionic amphiphiles. In this region the tentacle species seems to stand like a tripod at the water-air interface with both its hydrocarbon legs and its aromatic body lifted clear of the water surface. At much lower concentrations two small plateau regions in are apparent ( 60 and 52 mNm^–1). Here, the tentacle molecule occupies a much larger surface area, and seems to adopt a crab-like crouch with its aromatic body and polar ester substituents lowered into the water surface.
