Ternary chalcogenide glasses in the system Se–S were prepared by quenching from the melt. Measurements of the temperature dependence of direct current (dc) electrical conductivity have been made in the temperature interval from room temperature down to 30 K. Two types of conduction mechanisms were found to dominate in the measured temperature range, namely band conduction through extended states (which dominates at the high-temperature region) and hopping around the Fermi level (which dominates at the low-temperature region). The dc conductivity activation energy and pre-exponential factor were calculated for the two types of conduction. It was found that the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor are composition dependent. PACS Nos.: 72.20-i, 73.61.Jc, and 81.05.Gc

The oxidation of N-phosphonomethyliminodiacetic acid (PMIDA) to prepare glyphosate (PMG) over active carbon was investigated. Experiments were carried out with O2 as the oxidizing agent in a 150-mL autoclave made in stainless steel, with reaction temperature ranging from 323.15 to 353.25K and the pressure from 0.12 to 0.40 MPa. The macro kinetic model of the reactions in series was developed, and the pre-exponential factor and activation energy were estimated from the measured data in experiments. The influence of dissolved oxygen concentration was also considered in this macro kinetic model. The results indicated that the two step reactions are all one-order to reactant (PMIDA or PMG) and 0.3 or 0.07 to O2 respectively. The active energy was 12.98kJ/mol for the first step reaction and 10.87kJ/mol for the second step reaction.

Electrical conductivity of Ge10 Se90-x Bix (x=0,2,4,6,8,10) glassy systems prepared by melt quenching technique has been studied at different temperature in bulk form through I-V characteristic curves. It has been observed that the electrical conductivity increases as the Bi concentration increases up to 4 atomic weight percentages and on further addition of Bi it reduces. The variation in electrical conductivity with Bi concentration is attributed to the Se-Bi bond concentration. Using the Arrhenius equation of conductivity, the activation energy of conduction is evaluated. The effect of Bi concentration on activation energy has also been studied. It is quite evident from results that Poole-Frankel and Rechardson-Schottky conduction mechanism hold good for conduction in these glasses.

Binary and ternary TeO2 based oxy-chloride glass systems have been prepared and characterised by absorption and low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy, and by the measurements of dc electrical conductivity. Prepared glasses exhibit transmittance 75-80% in a broad transmission range 0.3 – 6.5µm with modest shift of upper absorption edge to longer wavelength as heavier ions are introduced into the system. Electronic transitions between 4f-4f inner shells of Pr3+ ions embedded into the host glass have been investigated in a wide temperature range as a function of used precursors used for doping. The temperature dependence of dc electrical conductivity exhibits Arrhenius plots with the single activation energy. PACS codes 81.05.Kf, 78.20.Ci, 78.55.Hx

In order to develop useful solid electrolytes for SO2 detectors, Na2SO4, Na2SO4–Eu2(SO4)3, Na2SO4–NaVO3, and Na2SO4–NaVO3–Ln2(SO4)3 (Ln = Eu, Pr) systems have been prepared, and their electrical and thermal properties have been measured. By doping Na2SO4 with Eu2(SO4)3, the electrical conductivity increases and the apparent activation energy of the Na2SO4–Eu2(SO4)3 system shows a value between those of Na2SO4-III and Na2SO4-I. Addition of NaVO3 and Ln2(SO4)3 (Ln = Eu, Pr) to Na2SO4 suppressed the phase transformation, by stabilizing the structure of the Na2SO4-I phase even at a relatively low temperature.

ABSTRACTThe effect of microstructure on the electrical conductivity of SrCO0.8Fe0.2O3_δ (SCFO) was investigated in air using a four-point dc method. In the test temperature range of 200 to 900 °C, the electrical conductivity of this material was observed to increase with the increase of the average grain size in the lower temperature region where the conductivity increases with the increase of the temperature. The activation energy is decreased with the increase of the grain size in this region, 0.04 ± 0.004 ev for 4.1μm sample and 0.01 ± 0.001 ev for 14.8 μm sample. When temperature is further increased, the conductivity of this material decreases with the increase of the temperature, and the grain size effect becomes less noticeable.

Although there are some significant exceptions, most important glass-forming systems contain elements from the sixth, or chalcogenide, column of the periodic table (oxygen, sulfur, selenium, or tellurium). The glasses which contain oxygen are typically insulators, while those which contain the heavier chalcogen elements are usually semiconductors. Even though oxygen is technically a chalcogen element, the term “chalcogenide glass” is commonly used to denote those largely covalent, semiconducting glasses which contain sulfur, selenium, or tellurium as one of the constituents.The chalcogenide glasses are called semiconducting glasses because of their electrical properties. The electrical conductivity in these glasses depends exponentially on the temperature with an activation energy which is approximately one half of the optical gap. In this sense these glasses exhibit electrical properties similar to those in intrinsic crystalline semiconductors. The analogy is by no means perfect. The mobilities for the charge carriers in these glasses are very low (< 10 cm2/V-s) compared to crystalline semiconductors, and there are even discrepancies in determining the sign of the charge carriers from measurements of the Hall effect and the Seebeck effect.The first detailed studies of the chalcogenide glasses were performed about 30 years ago. For many years the prototype compositions have been selenium (Se), arsenic triselenide (As2Se3) or arsenic trisulfide (As2S3), and germanium diselenide (GeSe2) or germanium disulfide (GeS2).

The low-melting CaCl2-NaCl-Al2O3 materials were used as the electrolyte of the low temperature aluminium electrolysis. The electrical conductivity and density of the materials were measured by the Continuously Varying Cell Constant Technique, ac-techniques, and Archimedes method. The materials were composed of 71wt.%~87wt.%CaCl2 (corresponding NaCl), NaCl and Al2O3(without and saturated). The measurement temperature ranges were 550°C~800°C. The results showed that Additive Al2O3 decreased the electrical conductivity of the materials, and resulted in the increase of the activation energy of conductance. The function relationship between the electrical conductivity and temperature was linear, and conformed to the Arrhenius equation. Increasing the CaCl2 content decreased the electrical conductivity of the materials, but the density was increased. With the increase of the CaCl2, the decrease scope of the electrical conductivity was small and the increase trend of the density was slow down. The decisive factor of the electrical conductivity of the materials was temperature.

DC electrical conductivity measurements of Fe2O3–K2O–P2O5 glasses containing iron chloride have been carried out in the temperature range from room temperature to 360°C. The DC conductivity was analyzed in terms of small polaron hopping theory. The hopping regime between Fe ions was confirmed to be nonadiabatic. The increase in the conductivity was of the same order of magnitude as the change in the pre-exponential factor upon increasing the FeCl3 content. The decrease in the activation energy with increasing FeCl3 content was interpreted in terms of a decrease in the distance between the iron sites. The increase in electrical conductivity was ascribed to the difference in the activation energy. The variation in the conductivity parameters was interpreted in terms of the structural changes that take place upon increasing the FeCl3 content of the glasses. PACS No.72.20Ee
