Electrochemical capacitance spectroscopy and capacitive relaxation of the changeover process in iron hexacyanoferrate molecular compound
2010
Abstract In this work it was proposed the use electrochemical capacitance spectroscopy (ECS) to evaluate the storage process during changeover in FeHCF compound. The approach is equivalent to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) albeit from such analysis it was possible to focus attention on the capacitive and dielectric relaxation instead of the dispersive relaxation related to charge transfer. From such approach it was possible to obtain complementary information on the role played by [Fe 2+ (CN) 6 ] 4− vacancies during the changeover process. It was observed that Fe 3+ (NC) 5 OH − clusters located in these vacancies mediate an electronic and ionic coupled trapping/detrapping proc…
Ionic conductivity in monophasic Ag2xNa2(1 − x)ZnSiO4 materials with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
1996
Abstract Solid solution samples Ag 2 x Na 2(1 − x ) ZnSiO 4 with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 have been prepared by heat treating powder mixtures of Na 2 ZnSiO 4 and Ag 2 ZnSiO 4 at 300 °C and characterised by X-ray powder diffraction. The ionic conductivity of the solid solution has been determined as a function of composition and temperature by means of impedance measurements. The ionic conductivity of the mixed-mobile ion compositions (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) shows no substantial deviation from the mutually similar conductivities of the end compositions Na 2 ZnSiO 4 and Ag 2 ZnSiO 4 , and neither activation energy nor conductivity pre-factor varies significantly with composition. The results indicate that the mixed-alk…
Synthesis, structure and conductivity of Ag2ZnSiO4, Ag2ZnGeO4 and Ag2BeSiO4
1995
Abstract The compounds Ag2MM′O4 with MM′ = ZnSi, ZnGe and BeSi have been synthesised by reacting the corresponding Na compounds with molten AgNO3. The crystal structures of Ag2ZnSiO4 and Ag2ZnGeO4 have been refined from Cu K α1 powder diffractometer data by the Rietveld technique to RF = 3.3 and 7.1%, respectively. They are isostructural with monoclinic Na2ZnSiO4. The powder pattern of Ag2BeSiO4 indicates that it is isostructural with orthorhombic Na2BeSiO4. The conductivity of the compounds has been determined using ac impedance measurements. Ag2ZnSiO4 and Ag2BeSiO4 are ionic conductors, with conductivities that are very similar to those of their corresponding isostructural Na compounds. A…
Nonlinear hairy layer theory of electrophoretic fingerprinting applied to consecutive layer by layer polyelectrolyte adsorption onto charged polystyr…
1997
The consecutive layer-by-layer adsorption of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) on colloidal charged latex particles is investigated by measuring the electrophoretic mobility as a function of pH and ionic strength over a broad range (electrophoretic fingerprinting). Meaningful interpretation of the data required the development of a nonlinear approach to hairy particle electrophoresis including dissociation, adsorption, and association. Steric and electrostatic exclusion of mobile ions from the hairy layer has been considered. Also, the surface conductivity correction is extended to the case of charged hairy layer particles. We deposited up to three polyel…
Incommensurate nature of the multilayered molecular ferromagnetic metals based on bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene and bimetallic oxalate comple…
2004
The salt [ET]x[MnRh(ox)(3)].CH(2)Cl(2) (x = 2.526(1)) has been obtained and characterized. This paramagnetic metal is essentially isostructural to the ferromagnetic metal [ET]y[MnCr(ox)(3)].CH(2)Cl(2) (y approximately equal to 3) and provides a definite answer on the origin of the structural disorder present on such systems. As in the ferromagnetic analogue, this material shows high electrical conductivity at room temperature (13 S.cm(-1)) and metallic behavior.
Structural and conductivity studies in LiFeP 2 O 7 , LiScP 2 O 7 , and NaScP 2 O 7
2000
Structural studies of LiScP2O7 by Rietveld refinement confirm that this material is isostructural with LiFeP2O7 studied previously. However, NaScP2O7 shows a structure different from the structural types of the basic group of NaIMIIIP2O7 known thus far. Systematic ranges for the six structural types of AIMIIIP2O7 are presented in terms of ion radii sums and ratios. The framework of LiMP2O7 (M=Sc, Fe) has rather wide tunnels running along the crystallographic c-axis. This feature has determined our interest to check the ion conductivity in AIMIIIP2O7 (A=Li, Na; M=Sc, Fe). The bulk conductivity, however, is low in these compounds, 10−6–10−7 S/cm at 300 °C, as determined by impedance spectrosc…
Kinetic modeling of ion conduction in KcsA potassium channel.
2005
KcsA constitutes a potassium channel of known structure that shows both high conduction rates and selectivity among monovalent cations. A kinetic model for ion conduction through this channel that assumes rapid ion transport within the filter has recently been presented by Nelson. In a recent, brief communication, we used the model to provide preliminary explanations to the experimental current-voltage J-V and conductance-concentration g-S curves obtained for a series of monovalent ions (K(+),Tl(+), and Rb(+)). We did not assume rapid ion transport in the calculations, since ion transport within the selectivity filter could be rate limiting for ions other than native K(+). This previous wor…
Synthesis, Structure, and Electrical Properties of Ta 4 FeTe 4
1995
Ta4FeTe4 has been synthesized and its structure determined by single-crystal X-ray methods. It crystallizes in the ortho-rhombic space group Pbam with Z = 4 and a = 10.514(5), b = 18.275(7), and c = 4.815(1) A. Ta4FeTe4 has a chain structure built up by Fe-centered Ta8-square antiprisms sharing common square faces. The resistivity of Ta4FeTe4 has been measured by a two-point method. Ta4FeTe4 shows metallic behavior. The structure of Ta4FeTe4 is discussed in relation to other early transition metal cluster compounds. A rational approach to the synthesis of related compounds is proposed.
Ionic transport and heat capacity of glass-forming metalnitrate mixtures
1997
Abstract Ionic transport of the glass-forming metalnitrate mixtures [Ca(NO 3 ) 2 ] 0.44 [KNO 3 ] 0.56 (MKN), and [Mg(NO 3 ) 2 ] 0.44 [NaNO 3 ] 0.56 (MNN) was investigated near the glass transition using broadband spectroscopy of the complex conductivity to 300 MHz. The real part of the conductivity exhibits a transition from frequency independent to power law behavior as found in most ionic conductors. At high frequencies the frequency exponent approaches unity and becomes larger at low temperatures. In the real part of the dielectric constant, a relaxation step could be observed in CRN. A detailed evaluation of the results within the modulus formalism is presented. The imaginary part of t…
Direct observation of the electroadsorptive effect on ultrathin films for microsensor and catalytic-surface control.
2013
Microchemical sensors and catalytic reactors make use of gases during adsorption in specific ways on selected materials. Fine-tuning is normally achieved by morphological control and material doping. The latter relates surface properties to the electronic structure of the bulk, and this suggests the possibility of electronic control. Although unusual for catalytic surfaces, such phenomena are sometimes reported for microsensors, but with little understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Herein, direct observation of the electroadsorptive effect by a combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and conductivity analysis on nanometre-thick semiconductor films on buried control electrodes …
