Dielectric Relaxation of HCI and NaCI Solutions Investigated by Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy

چکیده
We have used Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) to investigate the complex dielectric function of water solutions containing different ions. Using HCl and NaCl solutions with different concentrations we study the changes of the dielectric response introduced by the ions. We find a linear increase of the real and imaginary part of the dielectric function compared with pure water with increasing ion concentrations. We use an expanded model for fitting the dielectric function based on a combination of a Debye relation and damped harmonic oscillators for the anions and cations. A good agreement between the model and the experimental results is obtained.

The Potentiodynamic Behavior of Copper in NaCI Solutions Studied by Auger and Photoelectron Spectroscopy
The potentiodynamic behaviour of copper in brine solutions was studies. Auger and photo-electron spectroscopy were used together with electrochemical methods. It is demostrated that the passivation observed in potentiodynamic curves is due to a surface film formation on a copper electrode. It is concluded that this film must be copper (I) chloride in nature. Effect of different factors on poten...

The structure and dynamics of ionic liquids (ILs) are unusual due to the strong interactions between the ions and counter ions. These microscopic properties determine the bulk transport properties critical to applications of ILs such as advanced fuel cells.

Hence it is a general method for the determination of the dielectric properties of especially liquids in environments where transmission measurements are difficul...

We use terahertz ~THz! transmission spectroscopy to obtain the frequency dependent complex dielectric constants of water, methanol, and propylene carbonate, and solutions of lithium salts in these solvents. The behavior of the pure solvents is modeled with either two ~water! or three ~methanol and propylene carbonate! Debye relaxations. We discuss the effects of ionic solvation on the relaxatio...

We study hydrated model membranes, consisting of stacked bilayers of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine lipids, using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Terahertz spectroscopy enables the investigation of water dynamics, owing to its sensitivity to dielectric relaxation processes associated with water reorientation. By controlling the number of water molecules p...
