Applying a constant electric field on a suspended film of liquid that carries an electric current, either by the transport of ions or surface charges, induces a rotation in the film. This system is known as “liquid film motor”. So far, the effect of permittivity of the liquid on its rotation has been ignored. We showed that the permittivity of the liquid can significantly affect the dynamics of rotation. Using an experimental approach, we studied the liquid film rotation for a broad range of pure liquids with diverse permittivities and surface tensions. We observed two different regimes of rotation depending on the permittivity of the liquids. We also found that there is no correlation between the surface tension of the liquid and the angular velocity of the rotation. We considered a theoretical framework and suggested scenarios to explain our experimental observations. These results help in better understanding the physics of liquid film motors and suggest opportunities for new flow manipulation techniques at small scales.

Abstract In this work, we consider the motion of a polaron in a polynucleotide Holstein molecular chain in a constant electric field. It is shown that the character of the polaron motion in the chain depends not only on the chosen parameters of the chain, but also on the initial distribution of the charge along the chain. It is shown that for a small set value of the electric field intensity and for fixed values of the chain parameters, changing only the initial distribution of the charge in the chain, it is possible to observe either a uniform movement of the charge along the chain, or an oscillatory mode of charge movement.

In this paper, the distribution in electric durability [Formula: see text] of polymers in constant electric field at low temperatures has been measured. The results of continuous experiments and experiments of field discontinuous effect on polymer samples being remained not disruptive after exposure for time equal to mean value [Formula: see text] have been compared. During the interval, we have varied the time interval, temperature [Formula: see text] and electric intensity of opposite sign [Formula: see text] according to which various degree of regeneration of polymer electric strength properties has been observed. By the degree of regeneration, relaxation time [Formula: see text] of the accumulated charges in polymers causing breakdown has been found. It is established that the process of charge diffusion, which accumulation leads to breakdown has a thermofluctuation behavior and the activation energy of given process depends on the counter field intensity magnitude.

Various regimes of a charge motion along a chain in a constant electric field are investigated. This motion is simulated on the basis of the Holstein model. Earlier studies demonstrate a possibility of a uniform motion of a charge in a constant electric field over very long distances. For small values of the electric field intensity a Holstein polaron can move at a constant velocity. As the electric field intensity increases, a charge motion acquires oscillatorily character, performing Bloch oscillations. Since the charge motion depends on the whole set of the system parameters the character of the motion depends not only on the value of the electric field intensity. Therefore, the electric field intensity for which the uniform motion takes place differs for chains with different parameters. The character of the charge motion and distribution is considered in chains with different values of the constant of coupling between the charge and the displacements of the chain. We showed that the values of the electric field intensity for which the regime of a charge motion changes are different in chains with different values of the coupling constant. We also demonstrated that for one and the same value of the electric field intensity, in chains with different values of the coupling constant either a uniform motion or an oscillatory motion, or a stationary polaron can be observed.

Abstract The work experimentally investigated the influence of an electric field on the direct flexoelectric effect that occurs under the influence of an acoustic field in liquid crystals. Thin layers of nematics 10-100 μm thick were studied. In this case, the liquid crystal sample was exposed to the piston method with an acoustic wave with a frequency of 1 kHz. The dependences of the first and second harmonics for different NLCs on the bias voltage value, shear amplitude, and crystal thickness were obtained. It was revealed that the flexosignal harmonics depend on the direction of the electric field; when a positive potential is applied to the movable plate, they take on smaller values than when negative. It was found that in low fields the magnitude of the flexosignal increases due to an increase in the amplitude of the director deviation, but at a critical value of the field it is suppressed, since the layer is stabilized by a constant electric field.

It is shown that bacteria Bradyrhizobium japonicum 273 were capable of degrading phenol at moderate concentrations either in a free cell culture or by immobilized cells on granulated activated carbon particles. The amount of degraded phenol was greater in an immobilized cell preparation than in a free culture. The application of a constant electric field during cultivation led to enhanced phenol biodegradation in a free culture and in immobilized cells on granulated activated carbon. The highest phenol removal efficiency was observed for an anode potential of 1.0 V/S.H.E. The effect was better pronounced in a free culture. The enzyme activities of free cells for phenol oxidation and benzene ring cleavage were very sensitive to the anode potential in the first two steps of the metabolic pathway of phenol biodegradation catalyzed by phenol hydroxylase—catechol-1,2-dioxygenase and catechol-2,3-dioxygenase. It was observed that at an anode potential of 0.8 V/S.H.E., the meta-pathway of cleavage of the benzene ring catalyzed by catechol-2,3-dioxygenase became competitive with the ortho-pathway, catalyzed by catechol-1,2-dioxygenase. The obtained results showed that the positive effect of constant electric field on phenol biodegradation was rather due to electric stimulation of enzyme activity than electrochemical anode oxidation.

Abstract We present an analytical approach to the problem of the interband transitions in an armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR), exposed to the time-periodic electric field of strong light wave, polarized parallel to the ribbon axis. The two-dimensional Dirac equation for the massless electron subject to the ribbon confinement is employed. In the resonant approximation the probability of the transitions between the valence and conduction size-quantized subbands are calculated in an explicit form. We trace the dependencies of the Rabi frequency for these transitions on the ribbon width and electric field strength for both the multiphoton-assisted and tunneling regimes relevant to the fast oscillating and practically constant electric field, respectively. Estimates of the expected experimental values for the typically employed AGNR and laser technique facilities show that the Rabi oscillations can be observed under laboratory conditions. The data, corresponding to the intersubband tunneling, makes the AGNR a 1D condensed matter analog, in which the quantum electrodynamic vacuum decay can be detected by the employment of the attainable electric fields.

The equations of electrodynamics are presented, it is shown that plane and spherical electromagnetic waves are their solutions, while the spherical wave propagates only outward. Fields of uniformly moving charges are also solutions of equations. The question of finding a universal form of equations admitting a solution in the form of a field of an arbitrarily moving charge remains open. The question is raised about the existence of a two-parameter group of transformations of electromagnetic fields along with the well-known one-parameter group. The equation of motion of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field is considered without simplifying approximations. The principle of operation of an unconventional alternator in a constant electric field and a corresponding engine, as well as new types of generators of direct and impulse current, are described.
