Forsterite single phase powder Mg2SiO4 was synthesized by sol–gel method alongside with heat treatment, using two different cation alkaline salts MCl as mineralizers (M = Na, K) with various mass percentages (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 wt.%). In this work, we report on the effect of the cation type and the added amount of used mineralizer on microstructure and electrical conductivity of Mg2SiO4. The formation of forsterite started at 680–740  °C and at 630–700  °C with KCl and NaCl respectively, as shown by TG-DTA and confirmed by XRD. Furthermore, the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) transmission spectra indicated bands corresponding to vibrations of forsterite structure. The morphology and elemental composition of sintered ceramics were examined by SEM-EDX analyses, while their densities, which were measured by Archimedes method, increased with addition of both alkaline salts. The electrical measurements were performed by Complex Impedance Spectroscopy. The results showed that electrical conductivity increased with the addition of both mineralizers, which was higher for samples prepared with NaCl than those prepared with KCl.

Background: A compact complex impedance-transforming balun for UHF frequencies, which is based on a coupled-line structure that matched all ports and provided high output port isolation, was designed in this paper. Methods: A lumped component transformation was used to minimize circuit size. The implemented circuit operated at 433 MHz with the reflection coefficients less than -16 dB at all ports, 0.22 dB amplitude balance and 180° phase balance at the output ports. The signal coupling between the output ports was -16.8 dB. The circuit size is small at 0.032λ. Results: Complex impedance-transforming baluns were designed to operate at 433 MHz. The source impedance at port 1 was set at Zs = 12 - j12Ω and the load impedances at port 2 and 3 were set at ZL = 80 + j30Ω. Conclusion: A compact complex impedance-transforming balun at UHF frequency, with all ports matched and high isolations, was designed and illustrated in this paper.

1. The complex impedances and impedance magnitude functions were obtained from neurons in in vitro slices of trigeminal root ganglia using frequency-domain analyses of intracellularly recorded voltage responses to specified oscillatory input currents. A neuronal model derived from linearized Hodgkin-Huxley-like equations was used to fit the complex impedance data. This procedure yielded estimates for membrane electrical properties. 2. Membrane resonance was observed in the impedance magnitude functions of all investigated neurons at their initial resting membrane potentials and was similar to that reported previously for trigeminal root ganglion neurons in vivo. Tetrodotoxin (10(-6) M), a Na+-channel blocker, applied in the bathing medium for 20 min produced only minor changes, if any, in the resonance, although gross impairment of Na+-spike electrogenesis was apparent in most of the neurons. Brief applications (1-5 min) of a K+-channel blocker, tetraethylammonium (TEA; 10(-2) M), increased the impedance magnitude and abolished, in a reversible manner, the resonant behavior. In all cases, the resonant frequency was decreased by TEA administration prior to total blockade of resonance. 3. The TEA-induced blockade of resonance was associated with decreases in the estimates of the membrane conductances, without significant alterations of input capacitance. A particularly large decrease was observed in Gr, the time-invariant resting conductance that includes a lumped leak conductance component. The voltage- and time-dependent conductance, GL, and associated relaxation time constant, tau u, also declined progressively during administration of TEA. 4. Systematic variations in the membrane potentials of trigeminal root ganglion neurons were produced by intracellular injections of long-lasting step currents with superposition of the oscillatory current stimuli, in order to assess the effects of TEA on the relationship of the electrical properties to the membrane potential. Applications of TEA led to a depolarizing shift in the dependence of the membrane property estimates, suggesting voltage-dependence of the effects of TEA on presumed K+ channels in the membrane. 5. These data suggest a primary involvement of K+ conductance in the genesis of membrane resonance. This electrical behavior or its ionic mechanism is a major modulator of the subthreshold electrical responsiveness of trigeminal root ganglion neurons.

The main objectives of this work are the development of fundamental extensions to existing scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) technology to achieve quantitative complex impedance measurements at the nanoscale. We developed a SMM operating up to 67 GHz inside a scanning electron microscope, providing unique advantages to tackle issues commonly found in open-air SMMs. Operating in the millimeter-wave frequency range induces high collimation of the evanescent electrical fields in the vicinity of the probe apex, resulting in high spatial resolution and enhanced sensitivity. Operating in a vacuum allows for eliminating the water meniscus on the tip apex, which remains a critical issue to address modeling and quantitative analysis at the nanoscale. In addition, a microstrip probing structure was developed to ensure a transverse electromagnetic mode as close as possible to the tip apex, drastically reducing radiation effects and parasitic apex-to-ground capacitances with available SMM probes. As a demonstration, we describe a standard operating procedure for instrumentation configuration, measurements and data analysis. Measurement performance is exemplarily shown on a staircase microcapacitor sample at 30 GHz.

This research aims to synthesize the Bis(di-isobutyldithiophosphinato) nickel (II) complex [Ni(iBu2PS2)] to be employed as a substrate for the deposition of nickel sulfide nanostructures, and to investigate its dielectric and impedance characteristics for applications in the electronic industry. Various analytical tools including elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR, and TGA were also used to further confirm the successful synthesis of the precursor. NiS nanostructures were grown on the glass substrates by employing an aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) technique via successful decomposition of the synthesized complex under variable temperature conditions. XRD, SEM, TEM, and EDX methods were well applied to examine resultant nanostructures. Dielectric studies of NiS were carried out at room temperature within the 100 Hz to 5 MHz frequency range. Maxwell-Wagner model gave a complete explanation of the variation of dielectric properties along with frequency. The reason behind high dielectric constant values at low frequency was further endorsed by Koops phenomenological model. The efficient translational hopping and futile reorientation vibration caused the overdue exceptional drift of ac conductivity (σac) along with the rise in frequency. Two relaxation processes caused by grains and grain boundaries were identified from the fitting of a complex impedance plot with an equivalent circuit model (Rg Cg) (Rgb Qgb Cgb). Asymmetry and depression in the semicircle having center present lower than the impedance real axis gave solid justification of dielectric behavior that is non-Debye in nature.

A new solid-state pseudo binary system BiI3_-Ag2SO4 involving bismuth triiodide (BiI3) and a silver oxysalt namely silver sulphate (Ag2SO4) has been prepared using rapid melt-quenching technique. AC conductivity studies have been carried out on the nine different samples of the (BiI3)x –- (Ag2SO4)(1-x) system with compositions corresponding to x=0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8 and 0.9 mole fraction at temperatures ranging from room temperature (298 K) to 433K. The bulk resistance values estimated using complex impedance plots indicated that electrical conductivity of the synthesized solid specimens would vary from 2.9 x10-2 to 3.4 x10-6Scm-1 thus suggesting the present system to be ionic in nature. The extent of ionic conduction due to Ag + cation has also been analyzed using Wagner’s dc polarization technique whereas detailed structural characteristics of the various compositions derived from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and features of surface morphology of these samples obtained using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have further supported the ionic nature of the chosen system and suggested possible application as a solid electrolyte in electrochemical devices.

AbstractThe results of audio frequency complex impedance studies for vanadyl phosphate and its hydrates (VOPO4*nH2O;n=0,1,2) are reported. Measurements were made at seventeen frequencies between 10 and 105 Hz over the temperature range 5.5-380K. Two lowtemperature features were observed and are correlated with particular water species between the VOPO4 layers. In light of chemical evidence and compleximpedance measurements on related compounds, it is speculated that VOPCO4*nH2O (Pc = P, As) can be thought of as a mixed nonstoichiometric compound [VO(HPcO4)]x[VOPcO4O4]1-x*nH2O and the solid Brϕnsted acid nature of the compound is related to proton movement between layer pnictates and intralayer waters.
