Fast ion conducting (FIC) glasses of composition 66%AgI-[MAg2O-F{(F1)B2O3-(F2)TeO2}] were prepared by melt quenching technique. Here M/F ratio was varied from 0.0 to 2.0 in steps of 0.25 for fixed values of F1& F2. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) experiments to understand their structure. Electrical studies of the prepared...

The electrical conductivity and density of the low-melting CaCl2-NaCl-Al2O3 systems at 550°C~800°C ranges were respectively measured by the Continuously Varying Cell Constant Technique, ac-techniques and Archimedes method. The materials were applied as the electrolyte for the direct electrochemical reduction solid Al2O3 at 550°C ~800°C. The materials were composed of 71wt.%~87wt.%CaCl2 (corresp...

We followed the first stages of liquid–liquid phase separation in an alkali-borosilicate glass by complex impedance spectroscopy at constant temperatures below and above the glass transition temperature, Tg. We found a new feature of the electrical conductivity behavior: at temperatures below Tg, the electrical conductivity, r, diminished with time, while above Tg, the electrical conductivity i...

Present study reports that Cd-Se nanoparticles with zinc blende structure allow Magnesium (Mg) Doping. Size tunable pure Cd-Se and Mg doped Cd-Se nanocrystal quantum dots were synthesized by inverse micelles technique. Paraffin oil and oleic acid were used as a solvent and surfactant respectively. Reduction in particles size with increase in Mg content is estimated from X-ray diffraction (XRD) ...

In this work the study of the ferromagnetic resonance and of the electrical conductivity in the perovskite sample, Ba2FeMoO6, is presented. Double perovskite has been manufactured by conventional ceramic method sintering in an inert gas atmosphere. Electrical conductivity, of about 1000–1400 S/m, presents metallic behavior in the ferromagnetic region and semiconducting response in the paramagne...

The dynamic viscosity was measured for water-phenol binary mixture at several concentrations and temperatures to determine the critical concentration and critical temperature. The critical concentration was determined at XC=3.90% by weight of phenol, the critical temperature was TC=67.0°C using the viscosity measurement while TC=67.8°C from an indication of electrical conductivity measurements....

The electrical conductivity of dense and nanoporous zirconia-based thin fi lms is compared to results obtained on bulk yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) ceramics. Different thin fi lm preparation methods are used in order to vary grain size, grain shape, and porosity of the thin fi lms. In porous fi lms, a rather high conductivity is found at room temperature which decreases with increasing temp...

Ruthenium-Carbon (Ru-C) nano-composite films were prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and the effects of deposition conditions on the microstructure and electrical properies were investigated. The films consisted of agglomerated grains of 10 to 20 nm in diameter, in which Ru particles of 2.5 to 3.5 nm in diameter were dispersed in a C matrix. The C content of the films...
