Thermally stimulated current and electrical conduction in metal (1)-ethyl cellulose-metal (1)/(2) systems

Thermally Stimulated Relaxation and Electrical Conduction Phenomena In Polyacrylamide

Thermally stimulated relaxation (TSR), employing thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and thermally stimulated conductivity (TSC) as experimental techniques, in Polyacrylamide (PAA) have been studied; in the temperature range 300 480 K. Measurements of electrical conductivity () at various temperatures, in the same temperature range have been made, in both as-grown and UV-irradiated PAA fil...

Statistical and electrical properties of the conduction electrons of a metal nanosphere in the region of metal-insulator transition

Statistical and electrical properties of the conduction electrons of a silver or gold sphere with a radius from 1 to 2 nm are shown to differ drastically from the properties of electrons in a bulk metal sample. If the radius of a noble metal sphere decreases from 10 to 1 nm, its conductivity oscillates around the bulk metal value with increasing amplitude and drops at the 'magic' numbers of ele...

Electrical readouts of single and few molecule systems in metal-molecule-metal device structures.

Electrical conduction through molecular junctions are measured in different local environments through two test beds that are ideal for single/few molecule and molecular monolayer systems. A technique has been developed to realize Au films with approximately 1.5 A surface roughness comparable to the best available techniques and suitable for formation of patterned device structures. The techniq...

Dielectric spectroscopy and thermally stimulated discharge current in PEEK film

The complex permittivity of films of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has been investigated over a wide range of frequency. There is no relaxation peak in the range of 1Hz to 10 Hz but in the lowfrequency side (10 Hz) there is an evidence of a peak that also can be observed by thermally stimulated discharge current measurements. That peak is related with the glass transition temperature (T g ) of ...
