Electrorheological Characters Of Polyaniline Suspensions, Guangyao Su, Deshu Gao, Changqing Zhang Aug 1997

Electrorheological Characters Of Polyaniline Suspensions, Guangyao Su, Deshu Gao, Changqing Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Polyaniline (PAn) as the dispersive particles and insulating oil as the dispersive medium, the electrorheological fluid (ERF) is constituted. Relations between the factors of electric field strength (E), temperature (T) and the static yield stress (τS), current density (i) of ERF are investigated. The results show that the changes of τS and i with electric field intensity have emerged in the exponential relation, i.e, τS∝E0.7, i∝E2.18. Otherwise, when exert a constant voltage on ERF, owing to the polarization, the absorption of medium of ERF have taken place. Therefore, the attenuation rate …

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Research

Experimental and theoretical studies are reported on the inelastic (Raman) scattering of wavelength-selected polarized x rays from the K edge of gas-phase chlorine molecules. The polarized emission spectra exhibit prominent nondipole features consequent of phase variations of the incident and emitted radiation over molecular dimensions, as predicted by the Kramers-Heisenberg scattering formalism. Issues pursuant to the detection of core-hole localization by resonant Raman scattering from homonuclear diatomic molecules are critically examined. [S0031-9007(97)03486-8]

The independent particle approximation is shown to break down for the photoionization of both inner and outer nℓ (ℓ>0) electrons of all atoms, at high enough energy, owing to interchannel interactions with the nearby ns photoionization channels. The effect is illustrated for Ne 2p in the 1 keV photon energy range through a comparison of theory and experiment. The implications for x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of molecules and condensed matter are discussed.

Journal of Electrochemistry

H-terminated n-Si(111) surface was found to be etched in 0.5% HF solution in nanometer scale while scanning the STM tip when the substrate potential was somehow lower than the open circuit potential at tunneling condition of Vb=+1.0 V (tip positive), It=1 nA. Much more stable Si surface was achievable at potentials much more negative than the open circuit potential (such as 500 mV negative to OCP) under the same tunneling condition. Furthermore, the etching rete at less negative potential was found to be somehow related to the tunneling current. These results indicate that the STM induced …

Journal of Electrochemistry

Porous silicon with micrometer size pores, which is made on n+-Si by photoelectrochemically etched, has electroluminescent property. Each monochromic intensity and wavelength range of luminescent spectra depend on polarized potential. The intersity and the stability of cathodic electroluminescence is high than those of anodic one. Voltammetric behavior before quenching indicated that the electrochemical reactions of some surface species are involved in except the reduction of S2O82-, which leads to radiative recombination. The energy band diagram based on n+-Si(Eg=1.1 eV)/PS(Eg=1.8 eV) junction is proposed.

Study Of The Nature Of Formic Acid Adsorbates On Rough Pt And Its Interaction With Co, Xinhua Xia, Iwasita T., Vielstich W.

Journal of Electrochemistry

The nature of formic acid adsorbates formed on porous platinum electrode has been studied by in-situ infrared reflectance spectroscopic (FTIR) and differential electrochemical mass spectroscopic (DEMS) techniques. By carefully avoiding the contamination of the environment (i.e ., air) voltammetric experiments show that the oxidation of formic acid adsorbates depends on both adsorption potential and adsorption time. The online DEMS results show furthermore that the number of electrons necessary for the formation of one molecule of CO2 from adsorbed formic acid is independent of the adsorption potential. Its value of 2.2 demonstrates that the composition of formic acid adsorbates is …
