We study the frictional drag due to Coulomb and phonon mediated electron–electron interaction in a double layer electron system exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field. We calculate the transresistivity as a function of magnetic field, temperature, and inter-layer spacing L: We find the strikingly different magnetic field and temperature dependence of the transresistivity for L 1⁄4 30 and 200...

The optical propagation properties and magnetic polariton behaviors in perforated metal/dielectric layered structures are numerically investigated at near-IR region. A developed three-metal-layer (TML) structure is specially inspected as a simple case. Strong coupling effect of magnetic polariton is discovered in this system, which explains why TML structure reveals better negative-refraction p...

Huge numbers of double layers carrying electric fields parallel to the local magnetic field line have been observed on the Van Allen probes in connection with in situ relativistic electron acceleration in the Earth's outer radiation belt. For one case with adequate high time resolution data, 7000 double layers were observed in an interval of 1 min to produce a 230,000 V net parallel potential d...

Spherical pellets of antimony sulphide were dissolved in 1 molar sodium hydroxide solutions at different temperatures. It was found that the shrinking core with ash layer model could satisfactorily explain the dissolution process. Using this model it was found that initially the rate controlling step is a chemical reaction with activation energy of 10.2 kJ/mol. As the ash layer builds up, diffu...

This paper reports the preparation of cobalt phthalocyanine/layered double hydroxide ultrathin films (UTFs) through an electrostatic layer-by-layer (LBL) technique as well as its application in electrocatalysis for dopamine oxidation. UV-vis absorption and electrochemical impedance spectra indicate the uniform deposition of the LBL films. XRD measurements demonstrate the long-range ordered stru...

We report a deposition of the tin oxide/hydroxide nanostructured layer by the potentiodynamic method from acidic nitrate solutions directly over the substrate, equipped with multiple strip electrodes which is employed as a gas-analytical multisensor array chip. The electrochemical synthesis is set to favor the growth of the tin oxide/hydroxide phase, while the appearance of metallic Sn is suppr...

Previous theoretical work has speculated about the existence of doublediffusive magnetic buoyancy instabilities of a dynamically evolving horizontal magnetic layer generated by the interaction of forced vertically sheared velocity and a background vertical magnetic field. Here we confirm numerically that if the ratio of the magnetic to thermal diffusivities is sufficiently low then such instabi...

Coulomb drag resulting from interlayer electron-electron scattering in double layer 2D electron systems in a high magnetic field has been measured. Within the lowest Landau level the observed drag resistance exceeds its zero magnetic value by factors of typically 1000. At half-filling of the lowest Landau level in each layer (n ­ 1y2) the data suggest that our bilayer systems are much more stro...

Ionic conduction mechanism of Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) intercalated with CO32− (Mg-Al LDH) was studied. The electromotive force for the water vapor concentration cell using LDH as electrolyte showed partial pressure dependence and obeyed Nernst equation, indicating that hydroxide ion transport number is almost unity. ionic conductivity Mg(OH)2, MgCO3 Al2(CO3)3 also examined. Onl...
