Complex impedance and conductivity were measured for regioregular poly(3hexylthiophene) (P3HT) at alternating current (AC) voltages using a waveform technique. The waveforms were Fourier transformed from time domain to frequency domain and analyzed at fundamental and higher order harmonic frequencies. It was found that the impedance of the semi-conducting P3HT decreases with increasing electric...

Although the eataphoresis of microscopically and submicroscopically visible particles has been very frequently investigated, the influence of size, shape and conductivity of the particle has not been completely determined. Solution of this problem is of the utmost importance for all applications of the method of cataphoresis. Before differences in mobility in an electric field may be ascribed t...

An increased permeability of a cell membrane during the application of high-voltage pulses results in increased transmembrane transport of molecules that otherwise cannot enter the cell. Increased permeability of a cell membrane is accompanied by increased membrane conductivity; thus, by measuring electric conductivity the extent of permeabilized tissue could be monitored in real time. In this ...

It has been predicted that application of a strong electric field perpendicular to the plane of bilayer graphene can induce a significant band gap. We have measured the optical conductivity of bilayer graphene with an efficient electrolyte top gate for a photon energy range of 0.2-0.7 eV. We see the emergence of new transitions as a band gap opens. A band gap approaching 200 meV is observed whe...

The authors use molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the thermal transport characteristics of water with various degree of orientational and translational orders induced by the application of an electric field. The authors observe that the orientational ordering of the water dipole moments has a minor effect on the thermal conductivity. However, electric-field-induced crystallization an...
