Hopping conduction in strong electric fields: Negative differential conductivity

Electric Field Induced Hopping Conductivity and Polarization in Hytrel

Negative Magnetoresistance in the Nearest-neighbor Hopping Conduction

We propose a size effect which leads to the negative magnetoresistance in granular metal-insulator materials in which the hopping between two nearest neighbor clusters is the main transport mechanism. We show that the hopping probability increases with magnetic field. This is originated from the level crossing in a few-electron cluster. Thus, the overlap of electronic states of two neighboring ...

Influence of Water Conductivity on Microdischarges from Raindrops in Strong Electric Fields

The influence of water conductivity on microdischarges from raindrops has been studied by submitting water drops of different conductivities to a strong horizontal electric field. The discharge onset field remains unchanged but the microdischarges characteristics are clearly affected by the nature of water scarce high amplitude pulses for low conductivity water and numerous low amplitude pulses...

Conductivity of molten sodium chloride and its supercritical vapor in strong dc electric fields

Ion Collisions in Very Strong Electric Fields

A Classical Trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC) simulation has been made of processes of charge exchange and ionization between an hydrogen atom and fully stripped ions embedded in very strong static electric fields (O(10 V/m)), which are thought to exist in cosmic and laser–produced plasmas. Calculations show that the presence of the field affects absolute values of the cross sections, enhancing ion...
