This paper examines the relative permittivity of irradiated and non-irradiated crude oil samples in the frequency range 0.1 – 100.0MHz and room temperature regulated at 25 ± 1oC. Samples of crude oil of mean specific gravity 0.780 ± 0.015 were irradiated for periods of two, four, six, eight and ten months respectively using a gamma radiation source (Cobalt 60) at a dose rate of 0.65mSv per hour. Dielectric measurements were made by using a Boonton RX meter type 250A admittance bridge manufactured by central research Laboratories, Inc, Red, Wing, Minnesota. Analysis of the resulting dielectric data revealed that both the irradiated and non-irradiated samples exhibited dielectric dispersion over the frequency range investigated. However, the relative permittivity values of the irradiated samples were found to be higher than those of the non-irradiated sample. This difference is understandable as it can be attributed to the ionization of atoms and weakening of molecular bonds in the irradiated samples. The increase in relative permittivity for the irradiated samples was observed to be time dependent as the longer the time of irradiation of sample the higher the value of its relative permittivity. Also, in this study, it was observed that the non-irradiated crude oil sample has longer relaxation time than the irradiated ones. The relaxation time decreases gradually with increasing irradiation time. This has physical significance on the basis of the molecular theory of matter and the fact that relaxation time is inversely proportional to relaxation frequency. These results are comparable with the work of other researchers for which similar trends have been observed.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of NaF and firing temperature on the dielectric properties (dielectric constant and dielectric loss) of talc, which is used in the electrical and electronic industries as a circuit element. A detailed characterization of the samples was made by XRD, FTIR, SEM and TG-DTG methods. Dielectric measurements were performed in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 80 MHz at room temperature. The dielectric constant value increased with an increase in firing temperature due to the removal of polarizable compounds from the talc structure. The higher dielectric constant values were obtained by addition of NaF. The dielectric loss of NaF doped talc decreased with the increase of firing temperature and increased with the increase of the amount of NaF.

Several pellets of general formula Ba1-xMx(Ti1-xLix)O3-3xF3x were prepared from BaTiO3, MF2 ( M = Ca, Sr, Ba or Pb ) and LiF powders then sintered by the conventional solid state route at 900 or 1000°C for 1, 2 or 4 hours. X-Ray powder diffraction patterns were collected at room temperature and SEM observations were carried out. Dielectric measurements were performed between 150 and 450K in the frequency range 50Hz - 40MHz. All the ceramics exhibit a very broad ferroelectric displacive phase transition in the temperature range 255K ≤ TC ≤ 328K.The ε' r - T curves and the values of tanδ are compatible with the Z5U class of capacitors. Furthermore, a Debye dielectric relaxation occurs in these oxifluorids in the frequency range 4MHz ≤fr ≤ 38.5MHz.

Abstract The dielectric spectrum of the title substance ('neohexanol') in its pure liquid state is reported for 293 K up to 71 GHz and, for a restricted frequency range, also for lower temperatures (down to 253 K). The room temperature spectrum resembles that of alicyclic alcohols, in particular cyclopentanol, with respect to spectral shape, main relaxation time and the relation of the latter to viscosity, which similarity may be connected with the fact that these alcohols are able to form 'plastic crystals'.

The W type barium magnesium hexaferrite powder with chemical composition BaMg2Fe16O27with CTAB surfactant was synthesized using solvent free synthesis method. The precursor was calcinated at 950 °C for 6 h in a muffle furnace and then slowly cooled to room temperature in order to obtain barium magnesium hexaferrite powder. The flexible epoxy thick film of Ba-Mg hexaferrite/epoxy composite was fabricated using suitable amount of hardener and curing agent. The field-dependent magnetic properties of the hexaferrite sample were investigated at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) with a maximum applied field of 15 kOe. The dielectric measurements were taken at room temperature within the frequency range to 100 Hz to 2 MHz.

AbstractExperimental studies of the dielectric properties in the nematic and isotropic phases of 4-cyanophenyl-4′-n-octylbenzoate (8CPB) have been performed in the frequency range from 50 kHz to 100 MHz. The relaxation process related to the rotation around the short molecular axis has been analysed. The results obtained have revealed that in the vicinity of the I-N phase transition, the molecular subdiffusional rotation process occurs. It is connected with the pretransitional effects which are observed both in the static and dynamic dielectric measurements. On the basis of the temperature dependence of the relaxation time in the nematic and isotropic phases, the orientational order parameter 〈P2〉 has been determined. The values of 〈P2〉 obtained in this way have been compared with those evaluated from the measurements of the polarized electronic absorption of the dichroic dye, dissolved as guest probe in the mesogenic host.

The terahertz frequency range is promising for solving various practically important problems. However, for the terahertz technology development, there is still a problem with the lack of affordable and effective terahertz devices. One of the main tasks is to search for new materials with high sensitivity to terahertz radiation at room temperature. Bi1−xSbx thin films with various Sb concentrations seem to be suitable for such conditions. In this paper, the terahertz radiation influence onto the properties of thermoelectric Bi1−xSbx 200 nm films was investigated for the first time. The films were obtained by means of thermal evaporation in vacuum. They were affected by terahertz radiation at the frequency of 0.14 terahertz (THz) in the presence of thermal gradient, electric field or without these influences. The temporal dependencies of photoconductivity, temperature difference and voltage drop were measured. The obtained data demonstrate the possibility for practical use of Bi1−xSbx thin films for THz radiation detection. The results of our work promote the usage of these thermoelectric materials, as well as THz radiation detectors based on them, in various areas of modern THz photonics.

In the present work, the dielectric properties of recycled liquid crystals (LCs) (non-purified, purified, and doped with diamond nanoparticles at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 wt%) were investigated. The studied LC mixtures were obtained from industrial recycling of end-of-life LC displays presenting mainly nematic phases. Dielectric measurements were carried out at room temperature on a frequency range from 0.1 to 106 Hz using an impedance analyzer. The amplitude of the oscillating voltage was fixed at 1 V using cells with homogeneous and homeotropic alignments. Results show that the dielectric anisotropy of all purified samples presents positive values and decreases after the addition of diamond nanoparticles to the LC mixtures. DC conductivity values were obtained by applying the universal law of dielectric response proposed by Jonscher. In addition, conductivity of the doped LC mixtures is lower than that of the undoped and non-purified LC.

A study of the room-temperature ionic liquid N-methyl-N-ethylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy over the frequency range 0.2 GHz ≤ ν ≤ 89 GHz has revealed that, in addition to the already known lower frequency processes, there is a broad featureless dielectric loss at higher frequencies. The latter is probably due to the translational (oscillatory) motions of the dipolar ions of the IL relative to each other, with additional contributions from their fast rotation.

In this study, the photostability of a CdTeSe/ZnS colloidal single photon emitter with a wavelength of 800nm at room temperature was investigated. The second-order correlation function was much smaller than 0.1, which proved that the CdTeSe/ZnS single quantum dot at 800nm is a highly pure single-photon emitter. The effects of the irradiation time on the optical properties from single quantum dots were analyzed. As the illumination time increased, the emission of biexciton and multiexciton in the colloidal quantum dots increased, and the occurrence of Auger recombination increased.
