Suspended microdevices are employed to measure the in-plane electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient of suspended poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) thin films. The measured thermal conductivity is higher than previously reported for PEDOT and generally increases with the electrical conductivity. The increase exceeds that predicted by the Wiedemann-Franz law ...

Electroconvection (EC) phenomena have been investigated in the nematic phase of a bent-core oxadiazole material with negative dielectric anisotropy and a frequency dependent conductivity anisotropy. The formation of longitudinal roll (LR) patterns is one of the predominant features observed in the complete frequency and voltage range studied. At voltages much above the LR threshold, various com...

this research was done in order to submit a model for salinity map made with tm satellite data and salinity values in a buienzahra. the necessary processings such as principal component analysis and producing of different indices was done on the main bands. the 38 soil samples using random sampling (with 10×10 km dimension) from different horizons were designed and performed on the study area. ...

We analyse the consequences of Quincke rotation on the conductivity of a suspension. Quincke rotation refers to the spontaneous rotation of insulating particles dispersed in a slightly conducting liquid and subject to a high DC electric field: above a critical field, each particle rotates continuously around itself with an axis pointing in any direction perpendicular to the DC field. When the s...

Capacitance and resistivity sensors can be used to continuously monitor soil volumetric water content (θ) and pore-water electrical conductivity (EC(p)) with non-destructive methods. However, dielectric readings of capacitance sensors operating at low frequencies are normally biased by high soil electrical conductivity. A procedure to calibrate capacitance-resistance probes in saline conditions...

Lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate ferroelectric ceramics (Pb0.96La0.04)(Zr0.40Ti0.60)0.99O3 were synthesized by the conventional powder processing technique. X-ray diffraction experiments revealed that the samples belong to the tetragonal phase with a 4 b 4 0.4055 nm, c 4 0.4109 nm, and c/a 4 1.013. After being poled, the samples were indented with a 5-kg Vickers indenter, and lateral ...

–Expressions are obtained for the thermal conductivity of some ABO3 type displacive ferroelectrics in paraelectric phase, using Kubo formalism and double time thermal Green’s function technique. The total thermal conductivity obtained for these perovskites which is sum of two terms contributed by optical and acoustical phonons, is in agreement with the experimental results of Steigmeier. The va...

The total electric resistance R is theoretically linearly increasing function of the conductive wire length L because the electric conductivity K or electric resistivity r is independent on L. It was found out that dependence of electric resistance R on L is highly nonlinear for yarns containing the conductive metal fibers. The main aim of this paper is creation of the simple mechanistic model ...
