AbstractAnnealing at 150 °C induces phase separation in amorphous (Ge2Se7)88Bi5Sb7 bulk samples. Spectrally resolved steady-state photoconductivity measurements indicate the presence of crystalline Bi2Se3 clusters in the annealed material, but also the subsequent gradual disappearance of this microstructure at room temperature. Similar annealing-induced metastable changes are observed in other elements of a (Ge2Se7)88BixSb12-x sample series.

Differential Pumping

Use of the electron microscope to examine wet objects is possible due to the small mass thickness of the equilibrium pressure of water vapor at room temperature. Previous attempts to examine hydrated biological objects and water itself used a chamber consisting of two small apertures sealed by two thin films. Extensive work in our laboratory showed that such films have an 80% failure rate when wet. Using the principle of differential pumping of the microscope column, we can use open apertures in place of thin film windows.Fig. 1 shows the modified Siemens la specimen chamber with the connections to the water supply and the auxiliary pumping station. A mechanical pump is connected to the vapor supply via a 100μ aperture to maintain steady-state conditions.

Abstract In this work, we developed an approach of one-pot completely catalytic conversion of woody biomass into two value product streams: lignin-derived aromatics (68.54% monomer and 29.65% oligomer yields of lignin) and (semi-)cellulose-derived small molecular alcohols (about 59.60% of biomass mass). These could be afforded by conducting lignocellulose depolymerization over metal-alkaline catalysts in a mixture n-butanol/H2O solvent system at 250 °C and 30 bar H2. In the valorization process, the homogenous mixture of n-butanol-H2O solvents extract and depolymerize both lignin and hemicellulose, while the catalysts and H2 are essential to cleave the inter-/intramolecular linkages of lignocellulose into target products. After the reaction, phase separation of n-butanol and H2O takes place when systematic temperature at room temperature, providing a mild and effective strategy to isolate lignin-derived aromatics (n-butanol phase) from small molecular alcohols/acids (aqueous phase). Ru/C and alkali catalysts are collected by filtration from n-butanol phase and H2O phase, respectively. Meanwhile, the effect of metal-alkali coupled catalysts enables facilitating the cleavage of β-O-4 linkage of lignin and increasing the attainability of (semi-)cellulose-derived oligomers and the small molecular alcohols. This catalytic system provides a versatile valorization approach for biomass catalytic to bio-based chemicals.

Abstract The objective of this report is to investigate the steady state and dynamic photophysical and photochemical properties of 1-(N,N-bisacyl)amino-4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazoles in solvents of dif­ferent polarity at room temperature and in frozen matrix at 77 K. On the basis of the comparison of their UV absorption and luminescence spectra with those of 4,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole and diben-zamide (model compounds), cleavage of the N-N bond in the title compounds after irradiation with polychrome UV light is proved.

ABSTRACTTransient photoconductive response of undoped a-Si:H has been studied; the changes were analysed between two slightly different steady-state illumination conditions, at room temperature. A theoretical model is developed to describe transient photoconductivity; it yields good agreement with the measured curves for a whole range of light intensities. Numerical evaluations allows one to extract the recombination time of electrons. Comparison with steady-state photoconductivity yields a band mobility of free electrons between 0.1 and 6 cm2V−1s−1, depending upon sample quality.

In the present work, the study of variation of relaxation time (τ) with viscosity of the medium (η) is carried out on four polar samples: 2-Nitroaniline, 4-Bromoaniline, 4-Chloroaniline, 4-Chlorophenol, and also on the binary mixture of 2-Nitroaniline + 4-Bromoaniline at room temperature by using microwave bench operating at a frequency of 9.59 GHz. In this regard, the different parameters like dielectric constant ([Formula: see text]), dielectric loss ([Formula: see text]), relaxation time (τs), macroscopic steady state viscosity (ηs), dynamic viscosity (ηd), and viscoelastic relaxation time (τve) were determined for all the systems. It is observed that the relaxation time (τs) increases with the increase in the viscosity of the medium for all the systems. Plots of log(τs) versus log(ηs) for all the systems show that variation of relaxation time is found to be nonlinear in the higher viscosity regions. This suggests the failure of Debye’s theory at these regions. Further, the nonlinear behaviour of relaxation time with the viscosity is explained by using the viscoelastic model suggested by Barlow et al. (Proc. R. Soc. A 309, 473 (1969). doi: 10.1098/rspa.1969.0053 ). It is also observed that macroscopic steady state viscosity (ηs) values are greater than the dynamic viscosity (ηd), and viscoelastic relaxation time (τve) values were found to be lower compared to the relaxation time (τs). These results suggest that the effective frictional resistance experienced by the molecules during reorientation is lower and the measured values of macroscopic steady state viscosity (ηs) are frequency dependent.

<p>The PEA method has been used to study the evolution<br />of electrode interface charge and space charge in 2 mm<br />thick XLPE samples at ±40 kV and room temperature.<br />The voltage polarity is switched and the transition to a<br />steady-state at each polarity is followed. The samples<br />are intended to be symmetric except for the electrical<br />boundary conditions, however the measured space<br />charge distribution is more or less unsymmetrical for all<br />cases studied. Gold leaf, aluminium foil and graphite<br />paint have been used as electrode materials, and the<br />obtained results are different for the three electrode<br />materials. Measurements with gold electrodes on three<br />samples having different storage conditions prior to the<br />measurements also provided significant differences<br />between the samples.</p>
