The authors describe a double canal-ray source, and discuss the general features of greatly improved analyses obtained through its use. A small canal-ray tube is placed along the axis of a hollow core of the magnet, the pole tip itself serving as the cathode with one small central perforation. A similar tube is symmetrically placed in the other core so that the double canal-ray tube provides opposing beams in the region between the pole faces. Here small field plates are set up to establish strong electric fields perpendicular to the canal rays. Light is taken out at right angles to both fields and analyzed by a six-prism glass spectrograph. Displacements and qualitative intensities are tabulated mainly for components of three line groups built round and including λλ 4922, 4472 and 4026 respectively. H = 25,800 oersteds while E = 10-131 kV/cm. Resolved components remain sharp at all field strengths. A few components correspond to Δm = ± 2; but there is no evidence for Δm = ± 3. Intensities of many components are critically dependent upon electric field strength, and in at least one notable case (2 3 P-5 3 G) displacements are similarly dependent. The latter is attributed to repulsion between levels of different m values which nevertheless are forced to cross over each other.

We have experimentally investigated the effect of the reorientation of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) in an electric field on the photoluminescence (PL) of CdSe/ZnS semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). To the LC with positive dielectric anisotropy, 1 wt % QDs with a core diameter of 5 nm was added. We compared the change of PL intensity and decay times of QDs in LC cells with initially planar or vertically orientated molecules, i.e., in active or passive LC matrices. The PL intensity of the QDs increases four-fold in the active LC matrix and only 1.6-fold in the passive LC matrix without reorientation of the LC molecules. With increasing electric field strength, the quenching of QDs luminescence occurred in the active LC matrix, while the PL intensity did not change in the passive LC matrix. The change in the decay time with increasing electric field strength was similar to the behavior of the PL intensity. The observed buildup in the QDs luminescence can be associated with the transfer of energy from LC molecules to QDs. In a confocal microscope, we observed the increase of particle size and the redistribution of particles in the active LC matrix with the change of the electric field strength. At the same time, no significant changes occurred in the passive LC matrix. With the reorientation of LC molecules from the planar in vertical position in the LC active matrix, quenching of QD luminescence and an increase of the ion current took place simultaneously. The obtained results are interesting for controlling the PL intensity of semiconductor QDs in liquid crystals by the application of electric fields.

Transverse Electric Fields

In a previous paper31 discrepancies between theory and experiment were found on investigating the positive column in a curved magnetic field. The approximation derived in 31 for the torus drift in a weakly ionized magnetoplasma is therefore checked here (Part I) with a refined theory which also yields the transverse electric field strength. Experimentally, both the transverse electric fields and the density profiles in the DC discharge were determined in addition to the longitudinal electric field strength.The discrepancies occurring in 31 are ascribed to the fact that the plasma concentrates at the cathode end of the magnetic field coils, this effect having a considerable influence on the form of the transverse density profile and on the stability behaviour. Part II later will show how the influence of this concentration can be eliminated and what effect in the current-carrying toroidal plasma causes a marked reduction of the charge carrier losses.

We report on a new optical sensing principle for measuring the electric field strength based on MEMS technology. This method allows for distortion-free and point-like measurements with high stability regarding temperature. The main focus of this paper rests on an enhanced measurement set-up and the thereby obtained measurement results. These results reveal an improved resolution limit and point to the limitations of the current characterization approach. A resolution limit of 222 V/m was achieved while a further improvement of roughly one order of magnitude is feasible.

In this paper, self-designed electrospinning equipment was used to make a series of electrospinning experiments with materials of polypropylene. The influences of the receiver area, the upper plate area, and the overlapping area between the receiver and the upper plate, on the melt spinning electric field, the spinning efficiency, and the fiber diameter, were investigated respectively. The results showed that when the other parameters were kept unchanged, with the increase of the receiver’s diameter, the electric field strength and spinning efficiency increased, and the fiber diameter increased at first and then decreased; the bigger the overlapping area between the receiver and the upper plate, the more stable the vertical spinning path.

Pulsed electric fields (PEF) were applied to neutral ginkgo cloudy juice to study the influence of the electric field strength, the treatment time and temperature on microbial inactivation. The results showed that microbial inactivation increased with the electric field strength, the treatment time and temperature. PEF treatment caused 3.39 and 4.44-log cycles reduction of coliforms and total plate counts, respectively, when pulse duration was 3 μs, the electric field strength 30 kV/cm, the treatment time 520 μs and the water bath temperature 15°C. Under the same conditions, the microbial shelf life of ginkgo cloudy juice was extended to 24 days at 4°C and 18 days at room temperature. A 3.7-log cycles reduction of the total yeast and mould counts was obtained by applying 390 μs of 30 kV/cm at 15°C.Yeast and mould cells were less resistant to PEF process than bacteria cells. The effect of heat generated during the PEF treatment was limited on microbial inactivation. Temperature and the induced heat by PEF had synergistic effects to microbial inactivation in cloudy ginkgo juice.

If Steel Sheet

Specimens cut from a cold-rolled IF steel sheet of 1 mm thickness were respectively annealed at 750°C for 20min under a range of DC electric fields (1kV/cm~4kV/cm). The Effect of electric field strength on recrystallization texture of IF steel sheet was studied by mean of X-ray diffraction ODF analysis. It was found that γ-fiber textures were notably enhanced as electric field strength increased. The strength of γ-fiber textures got their peak values as the applied electric field reached to 4kV/cm. The possible reason for such phenomena was discussed in the viewpoint of interaction between the applied electric field and the orientation-dependent stored-energy in deformed metals which is known as the driving force for recrystallization during annealing.

This paper presented a parametric experimental study of electrokinetic instability phenomena in a cross-shaped configuration microfluidic device with varying channel depths and conductivity ratios. The flow instability is observed when applied electric field strength exceeds a certain critical value. The critical electric field strength is examined as a function of the conductivity ratio of two samples liquid, microchannel depth, and the treatment of microchannel wetted surface. It is found that the critical electric field strengths for the onset of electrokinetic instability are strongly dependent on the conductivity ratio of two samples liquid, and decrease as the channel depths increasing of microfluidic devices. In the present study, the surface inside microchannels is treated utilizing hydrophilic and hydrophobic organic-based SOG (spin-on-glass) nanofilms for glass-based microchips. The experimental results indicate that no significant difference for the critical electric fields for the onset of electrokinetic instability phenomena in both hydrophilic and hydrophobic SOG coating in the surface of microchannels. The critical electric fields for the onset of electrokinetic instability phenomena are slightly lower in both SOG coated cases in compare with that of the non-coated microchannel.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a potent tool for modulating endogenous oscillations in humans. The current standard dosing method for rTMS defines the electric field strength only indirectly. A better characterization of the electric field strength induced by a given rTMS protocol is necessary in order to improve the understanding of the neural mechanisms of rTMS. In this study we used a novel approach, in which individualized prospective computational modeling of the induced electric field guided the choice of stimulation intensity. We consistently found that rhythmic rTMS protocols increased neural synchronization in the posterior alpha frequency band when measured simultaneously with scalp electroencephalography. We observed this effect already at electric field strengths of roughly half the lowest conventional dose, which is 80% of the resting motor threshold. We conclude that rTMS can induce immediate electrophysiological effects at much weaker electric field strengths than previously thought.
