Electrical Resistance of Carbon Powder. VII

Electrical conductivity of ice VII

It was discovered that a peak appears near a pressure of Pc = 10 GPa in the electrical conductivity of ice VII as measured through impedance spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) during the process of compression from 2 GPa to 40 GPa at room temperature. The activation energy for the conductivity measured in the cooling/heating process between 278 K and 303 K reached a minimum near Pc. The...

Correlating electrical resistance to growth conditions for multiwalled carbon nanotubes

VII. Workshop Powder Diffraction Structure Determination and Refinement from Powder Diffraction Data

New techniques have been integrated into EXPO (Altomare et al., 1999), a package devoted to extracting the integrated intensities from an indexed powder diffraction pattern and to solving crystal structures via Direct Methods. An efficient peak-search algorithm and an improved version of the program TREOR90 (Werner et al., 1985) have been introduced in order to offer new tools for a more powerf...

Ultrahigh Oxidation Resistance and High Electrical Conductivity in Copper-Silver Powder

The electrical conductivity of pure Cu powder is typically deteriorated at elevated temperatures due to the oxidation by forming non-conducting oxides on surface, while enhancing oxidation resistance via alloying is often accompanied by a drastic decline of electrical conductivity. Obtaining Cu powder with both a high electrical conductivity and a high oxidation resistance represents one of the...

Electrical and electromagnetic properties of isolated carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube-based composites

Isolated carbon nanotubes (CNTs), CNT films and CNT-polymer nanocomposites are a new generation of materials with outstanding mechanical, thermal, electrical and electromagnetic properties. The main objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive review on the investigations performed in the field of characterizing electrical and electromagnetic properties of isolated CNTs and CNT-reinf...
