Electric-field-induced modulation of thermal conductivity in poly(vinylidene fluoride)

Thermal Stability and Magnetic Properties of Polyvinylidene Fluoride/Magnetite Nanocomposites

This work describes the thermal stability and magnetic properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/magnetite nanocomposites fabricated using the solution mixing technique. The image of transmission electron microscopy for PVDF/magnetite nanocomposites reveals that the 13 nm magnetite nanoparticles are well distributed in PVDF matrix. The electroactive β-phase and piezoelectric responses of PVD...

Electric Field Induced Hopping Conductivity and Polarization in Hytrel

Effects of an external electric field on the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition in polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene copolymer Langmuir-Blodgett films

Terahertz Plasmonic Field-Induced Conductivity Modulation in Gold

We report the observation of terahertz (THz) electric field induced conductivity modulation in sub-wavelength gold plasmonic media. Through all-THz pump-probe time-resolved transmission spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the presence of induced surface charges influences near-field mediated light propagation. The phenomenon is ascribed to the enhanced metal conductivity due to enhanced surface d...

Imaging electric conductivity and conductivity anisotropy via eddy currents induced by pulsed field gradients

PURPOSE: The capacity to measure conductivity and conductivity anisotropy in vivo and non-invasively has practical significance in a number of biomedical applications. For example, large changes of tissue conductivity have been reported in tumors, strokes and myocardial infarction. Considerable early efforts were focused on the measurement of injected low-frequency currents (1-3). Electric prop...
