The surface tension and viscosity in the liquid Cu-Ag-In ternary alloys have been estimated using Muggianu and Toop geometric models and Seetharaman–Sichen equations, respectively along a cross-section of [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text], 1/1 and 2/1. The surface tension has also been estimated using Butler equation. In addition, the enthalpies of the same ternary alloys have been predicted at different temperatures along five cross-sections [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text], 1/2, 1/1, 2/1 and 3/1 using Kohler, Toop and Chou models. The geometric models are used in this work in order to verify their effectiveness since they are considered as the most widespread theoretical models used for metallic alloys. The estimated values obtained show that the surface tension decreases with increasing temperature for the all studied models and equations and increase with increasing copper-composition, except for few Cu-compositions where an opposite tendency is observed. It should be noted that the surface tension has a negative and positive temperature coefficient (d[Formula: see text]/d[Formula: see text]. The viscosity decreases with increasing temperature but increases with increasing copper-compositions. The calculated surface tension and enthalpy of mixing of the investigated system are compared with the reachable experimental data and a relatively excellent accord was obtained.

Hole initiated multiplication characteristics of 4H-SiC Separate Absorption and Multiplication Avalanche Photodiodes (SAM-APDs) with a n- multiplication layer of 2.7 µm were obtained using 325nm excitation at temperatures ranging from 300 to 450K. The breakdown voltages increased by 200mV/K over the investigated temperature range, which indicates a positive temperature coefficient. Local ionization coefficients, including the extracted temperature dependencies, were derived in the form of the Chynoweth expression and were used to predict the hole multiplication characteristics at different temperatures. Good agreement was obtained between the measured and the modeled multiplication using these ionization coefficients. The impact ionization coefficients decreased with increasing temperature, corresponding to an increase in breakdown voltage. This result agrees well with the multiplication characteristics and can be attributed to phonon scattering enhanced carrier cooling which has suppressed the ionization process at high temperatures. Hence, a much higher electric field is required to achieve the same ionization rates.

In this paper, the surface tension, molar volume and density of liquid Ag–Cu–Sn alloys have been calculated using Kohler, Muggianu, Toop, and Hillert models. In addition, the surface tension and viscosity of the Ag–Cu–Sn ternary alloys at different temperatures have been predicted on the basis of Guggenheim and Seetharaman–Sichen equations, respectively. The results show that density and viscosity decrease with increasing tin and increasing temperature for the all studied models. While the surface tension shows a different tendency, especially for the Kohler and Muggianu symmetric models. On the other hand, the molar volume increases with increase of temperature and tin compositions. The calculated values of surface tension and density of Ag–Cu–Sn alloys are compared with the available experimental values and a good agreement was observed.

The author measured surface tension coefficient for liquid with a new experimental apparatus, measured magnetic fluid surface tension coefficient at different temperatures and with different volume of surfactant. By the analysis of experimental data, we obtained that magnetic fluid surface tension coefficient decreases with the increasing temperature and increases with the addition of surfactant volume and reaches a certain stability value. We also obtained the expression of magnetic fluid surface tension coefficient and the temperature or surfactant. This paper discussed the relationship between the liquid surface tension coefficient and the temperature and surfactant from the view of thermodynamics.

AbstractKelthane MF showed a positive temperature coefficient of toxicity to the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus telarius. An increase of about 1.2% mortality occurred for each degree rise in the range from 50-90°F. Pre-treatment of adult, female mites at three different temperatures for three days caused no significant difference in mortality at 74°F. Acaricidal potency of Kelthane MF on peach leaves declined rapidly both indoors and outdoors for the first two days. Thereafter the potency decreased at about the same rate outside, but much slower in the laboratory. Deposits on peach leaves repelled mites strongly for two days, but weakened rapidly over the next six days. Mites entered treated leaf areas after the acaricidal potency had dropped low, and so a larger than expected number of susceptible mites may have survived.

This study investigates the influence of dopant content and firing conditions on electrical properties and positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR) effect of Ba[Formula: see text](Ti[Formula: see text]Nb[Formula: see text]O3 (BTN) ceramics sintered at different temperatures from 1070[Formula: see text]C to 1220[Formula: see text]C for 2 h in a reducing atmosphere and reoxidized within the temperature range of 600[Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]750[Formula: see text]C for 0.5[Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]8 h. The results indicate that the room-temperature (RT) resistance of the laminated BTN specimens initially decreased and then increased as a function of the dopant concentration. Moreover, the resistance jump exhibited a contrasting tendency. Furthermore, the RT resistance of the BTN samples rapidly decreased at first and then gradually decreased with increasing sintering temperature. Meanwhile, the resistance jump of the samples increased first and then decreased. In addition, the influence of reoxidation times on the PTCR characteristics of ceramics was investigated.

BaTiO3 and its solid solutions with PbTiO3 and SrTiO3 are normally insulators but, when doped with small amounts of trivalent ions, they become semiconducting. Materials in this family also possess a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (an increase in resistance with increasing temperature) over a limited temperature range and are often referred to as PTCs. The temperature where the PTC region begins is determined by the Ba/Pb/Sr ratio.The materials are generally prepared by solid state reaction of a mixture of oxides and carbonates which is subsequently sintered into a solid form. The electrical properties of such a body, in particular properties such as inrush current capability and voltage breakdown, are critically affected by microdefects in the materials which often originate during processing. The SEM is an ideal tool for studying such defects since they generally manifest themselves as localized variations in resistance.

The magnetization of most materials decreases with increasing temperature due to thermal deterioration of magnetic ordering. Here, we show that Mn4C phase can compensate the magnetization loss due to thermal agitation. The Mn–C nanoparticles containing ferrimagnetic Mn4C and other Mn–C/Mn-O phases were prepared by using the traditional arc-discharge method. A positive temperature coefficient of magnetization (~0.0026 Am2 kg−1 K−1) and an exchange bias up to 0.05 T were observed in the samples. We ascribe the exchange bias to the co-existence of ferrimagnetic Mn4C/Mn3O4 and antiferromagnetic α-Mn(C)/MnO phases. The positive temperature coefficient of magnetization of the samples was ascribed to the presence of Mn4C phase, which is considered as a Néel’s P-type ferrimagnet.

Abstract In this work, the kohler, Muggianu,Toop and Hillert geometric models were used to calculate the surface tension, molar volume and density of the liquid Sn-Ag-Cu-Bi quaternary alloys along three selected sections xSn:xAg:xCu = 1:1:1, 1:1:2 and 1:2:1 in the temperature range of 923 K–1423 K. The choice of this temperature range was made on the basis of the calculation results of the liquidus line of the alloys belonging to the three sections. The same properties have been estimated for five selected Sn2.7Ag0.86Cu3.86Bi, Sn3.13Ag0.48Cu4.02Bi, Sn2.95Ag0.53Cu6.81Bi, Sn2.68Ag1.01Cu6.62Bi and Sn3.24Ag0.75Cu1.76Bi quaternary alloys between 623 K and 1123 K for comparison with the available experimental data. Moreover, the surface tension and density of these five alloys have also been calculated on the basis of Guggenheim and theoretical equation, respectively. In addition, the Seetharaman-sichen and Kaptay equations were extended to estimate the viscosity of SAC + Bi alloys. We also discussed the influence of Bismuth addition in liquid Sn-Ag-Cu-Bi. Estimated values show that Bi increases molar volume and density but decreases the surface tension and viscosity. On the other hand, the surface tensions diminish with the temperature for the all studied models, with the exception of some concentration of Bismuth; an inverse tendency is observed (dσ/dT) > 0. While, the density diminishes with increasing temperature for all alloys (dσ/dT) < 0. These models have been shown to be a great alternative for calculating the thermo-physical properties of quaternary systems.

ABSTRACTThe breakdown voltages of 6H- and 4H-SiC rectifiers as function of temperature were modeled analytically in both non-reachthrough diode and reachthrough diode. The breakdown voltage was derived by the ionization integral employing accurate hole impact ionization coefficient. The breakdown voltage of SiC rectifiers was increased with increasing temperature and the positive temperature coefficient of breakdown voltage indicates that SiC rectifiers are suitable for high temperature applications. The breakdown voltages of both 6H- and 4H-SiC diodes were increased by M(T)-1/4 in NRDs and M(T)-1/8 in RDs.
