Thickness Dependent Dielectric Strength of a Low-permittivity Dielectric Film

The dielectric strength of a promising interlevel low relative permittivity dielectric is investigated for various film thicknesses and temperatures by using I-V measurements with metalinsulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures. It is found that the dielectric breakdown mechanism also depends on thickness. For relatively thick films (thickness >500 nm), the dielectric breakdown is electromechanic...

Dielectric Strength of Different Gases in GIS

SF6 is a gas with excellent dielectric properties and is commonly used in gas-insulated equipment. However it has the high global warming potential. Thus, the development of new gases or gas mixtures for GIS, GIL is strongly desired. For dimensioning the gas insulated systems the support insulators (spacers) are of special interest. Contaminations on the insulator surface can cause field distor...

The Influence of the Medium Dielectric Strength upon Trypsin Kinetics

The use of aqueous alkali for the titration of esterolytic activity when the esters are dissolved in alcoholic solutions, results in an error due to changes in the ionization of the buffer. This is corrected by titrating with alkali in the same solvent as the substrate. Alcohols and other substances which change the dielectric strength of water modify the rate of hydrolysis of BAEE(1) and TSAME...

Dielectric strength of ion irradiated polyimide and epoxy/fiber composites

During long-term operation of the new FAIR facility, parts of the superconducting magnets will be exposed to high radiation levels, cryogenic temperatures, and dynamic mechanical loads (Lorentzian forces during pulsed operation). Depending on the position of the different components, the radiation due to beam losses consists of a cocktail of gammas, neutrons, protons, and heavier particles [1]....
