Investigation of diffusion and electromigration of hydrogen in palladium and PdAg alloy
1999
Abstract Diffusion and electromigration of hydrogen in PdH 0.1 , Pd 77 Ag 23 H 0.1 and Pd 50 Ag 50 H 0.1 alloy were measured by means of resistivity method. It is known that hydrogen migrates towards the cathode within the temperature range of 300–473 K in the PdH 0.1 and Pd 77 Ag 23 H 0.1 system. In Pd 50 Ag 50 H 0.1 , hydrogen migrates towards the cathode below 400 K, but towards the anode at higher temperatures. Its effective valency increases together with temperature. At the same time it satisfies the linear dependence on inverse specific resistance ρ : Z eff = Z i +( k / ρ ). The constants Z i and k have the following values: (1.05±0.01) and −(3.81±0.04)×10 −8 Ω m for hydrogen in PdH …
3D ERT for the study of an ancient wall covered by precious mosaics
2009
The DC electrical tomography (ERT) is still a method scarcely diffused for the study of masonry of recent and ancient buildings, in spite of the very high resolution power of this methodology. The major limitation on ERT applicability on precious surfaces (like masonries or floors with fresco or mosaic covering) depends on the method of current injection: usually it is necessary to drive electrodes (small nails) into small perforations on the surfaces, to obtain sufficiently high current values (to produce good signal to noise ratio). An interesting application of the MYG array (that reduces significantly, compared to other classical arrays, the number of electrodes utilized for current inj…
Variation in somatic cell count, California mastitis test, and electrical conductivity among various fractions of ewe's milk.
1991
Abstract Variation of three estimates of udder inflammation (SCC, California mastitis test, and electrical conductivity) among the foremilk, machine milk, and hand stripping samples were studied. Foremilk and hand stripping milks were taken from each individual teat; machine milk was taken from the entire udder. For this experiment a total of 30 Manchega ewes were subjected to machine milking during the 9th wk of lactation. Samples were taken in duplicate during two milkings on consecutive mornings. Significant differences were observed in the SCC and electrical conductivity, but not in California mastitis test, between foremilk and stripping milk The stripping fraction had higher SCC (70 ±…
Physico-chemical properties of dense water/copper(II) bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate/CCl4 microemulsions
2007
Measurements of some physico-chemical properties (density, viscosity, conductance, infra-red spectra) of water/copper(II) bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (Cu(DEHSS)2)/CCl4 microemulsions, as a function of the volume fraction O of the dispersed phase (0 < O < 0.6) and of the molar ratio R (R = [water]/[DEHSS−]), have been performed at 25 °C. At each value of R, the density of the micellar phase is practically independent of O whereas the viscosity of microemulsions diverges above threshold O values. A divergent behavior for the electrical conductivity has also been observed but only at certain R values. These results, together with those from infra-red spectra, suggest that in percolated mi…
Electrical conductivity as a state indicator for the start-up period of anaerobic fixed-bed reactors.
2016
The aim of this work was to analyse the applicability of electrical conductivity sensors for on-line monitoring the start-up period of an anaerobic fixed-bed reactor. The evolution of bicarbonate concentration and methane production rate was analysed. Strong linear relationships between electrical conductivity and both bicarbonate concentration and methane production rate were observed. On-line estimations of the studied parameters were carried out in a new start-up period by applying simple linear regression models, which resulted in a good concordance between both observed and predicted values. Electrical conductivity sensors were therefore identified as an interesting method for monitori…
On the use of geophysical methods to characterize heterogeneities of quaternary alluvial deposits. Application to stormwater infiltration.
2007
Colloque avec actes et comité de lecture. International.; International audience; Stormwater infiltration basins are generally built on geological formations with large values of hydraulic conductivity. Such is the case for quaternary alluvial formations, among which are glaciofluvial deposits. Two geophysical investigation methods, namely ground-penetrating radar and electrical tomography, were tested on an infiltration basin built on a glaciofluvial deposit. Geophysical profiles were calibrated on a trench wall dug in the glaciofluvial formation. A sedimentological study coupled to geophysical measurements behind the trench wall highlights the three-dimensional architecture of the deposit…

Atoms embedded in an electron gas: Phase shifts and cross sections
1983
The Fermi-level scattering phase shifts and the transport cross sections are reported for atoms embedded in a homogeneous electron gas. The applications of the results are discussed, using the electronic stopping power for slow ions and impurity resistivity as examples. Peer reviewed
Numerical 3D study of FZ growth: dependence on growth parameters and melt instability
2001
Three-dimensional modelling of the floating zone (needle-eye) crystal growth process is carried out to analyse numerically the stability of the melt flow and the influence of the crystal rotation rate and inductor slit width on the 3D flow field and on the grown crystal resistivity. The unsteadiness of the melt is simulated and it is found that for the considered growth parameters a steady-state flow can be a reasonable approximation to the unsteady melt motion. The parametric studies have shown that increasing the rotation rate essentially changes the flow pattern and weakens the rotational striations, while the inductor slit width has a more local influence on these characteristics.
ChemInform Abstract: Electrical and Mechanical Breakdown of Anodic Films on Tungsten in Aqueous Electrolytes.
1988
Abstract Different types of breakdown are reported to occur during the galvanostatic growth of WO3 films in different aqueous electrolytes. Stresses inside the growing film cause the occurrence of cracks at a critical thickness which varies with the anodizing solution. The electrical breakdown is caused by avalanche ionization of the electronic current inside the film. The influence of the different experimental parameters on both the mechanical and the electrical breakdown voltages is discussed. For the electrical breakdown a model is proposed which explains the dependence of the sparking voltage on the electrolyte resistivity by assuming a double layer effect on the oxygen evolution react…
