Research paper thumbnail of Broadband, angle-dependent optical characterization of asymmetric self-assembled nanohole arrays in silver

As such, they have been proposed for use in many applications such as biosensing and communications. In this work, we introduce the asymmetry in nanoholes, and investigate its in uence on the electromagnetic response by means of broadband experimental characterization and numerical simulations. As a lowcost fabrication process, we use nanosphere lithography, combined with tilted silver evaporation, to obtain a 2D hexagonal array of asymmetric nanoholes in Ag. Our experimental setup is based on a laser, widely tunable in the near-infrared range, with precise polarization control in the input and in the output. We next resolve the circular polarization degree of the transmitted light when the nanohole array is excited with linear polarization. We attribute the disbalance of left and right transmitted light to the asymmetry of the nanohole, which we support by numerical simulations. We believe that the optimization of such simple plasmonic geometry could lead to multifunctional at-optic devices.

The structural characterization was performed using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), infrared (IR), and Raman spectroscopies, providing information about the dispersion of CNT and Gt particles within the matrix. The electrical and dielectric measurements were carried out in a frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 MHz and temperatures from 200 to 400 K. It is observed that, with the addition of CNT, a positive temperature coefficient in resistivity phenomena (PTCR) is identified for the temperatures below the glass transition. The mechanism responsible for this behavior is attributed to the tunneling effect conduction. The dielectric response was analyzed using the complex impedance formalism

Research paper thumbnail of Effect of Ni-doping Charge on Structure and Properties of LiNbO3

X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that single phase was formed for lithium niobate ceramics. It was shown that the unit-cell volume of the hexagonal phase decreased with increasing nickel concentration from 0 to 3% Ni charge and increased above 3%. No secondary phases were observed in Ni-doped powder of LiNbO3 for all concentrations compared with that of undoped sample. These results indicate that the Ni 2+ ion was substituted for niobium and lithium ions in the hexagonal phase. The addition of Ni 2+ promotes densification of lithium niobate ceramics. Raman spectra show that the samples were well crystallized with high purity. It was noticed that the increase of Ni-doping causes the decreasing of resistivity at high temperatures, but it has no influence of activation energy.

Research paper thumbnail of Electrical properties of carbon black/ copolymer co mposites above and below the melting temperature

The electrical properties of a composite, consistin g in a matrix of ethylene butylacrylate (EAB)... more The electrical properties of a composite, consistin g in a matrix of ethylene butylacrylate (EAB) reinf orced with carbon black particles (CB) are studied in the temperature range from 27 to 127 °C. The DC conductivity measurements show an insulator/conductor transition at a volume conce ntration of about Φ*≈11%. The electrical resistivity is constant with temperature, at concentrations below the conduction threshold Φ*. For concentrations above Φ*, the resistivity presents a significant increase for temperatures ab ove the melting point, Tm ≈ 91 °C, which corresponds to the phenomenon known as positive temperature coefficient in resistivity (PTCR effect). Besides, the AC con ductivity of these composites was analysed in the frequency rang e from 40 Hz to 0.1 MHz. The frequency dependence of the AC conductivity is characterized by a low frequency re gion of constant conductivity followed by a gradual transition at higher frequencies to a frequency dependent conduct ivity. This behav...

The frequency dependence of the dielectric response has been analyzed using the modulus formalism and the electrical conductivity using the Jonscher’s power law. It is found that the activation energy obtained by the modulus method is in good agreement with that obtained by the DC conductivity, which is independent of the CB contents inside the copolymer matrix, suggesting that these particles do not interact significantly with the chain segments of the macromolecules in the EBA copolymer.

Research paper thumbnail of Electrical conductivity and dielectric relaxation studies of biocomposites based on green microcrystalline cellulose-reinforced vinyl resin matrix

Two dielectric relaxations were identified. The first one is attributed to the α-relaxation, associated with the glass transition of biocomposite, and the second one, appearing above the glass transition and at low frequencies, was identified as the interfacial polarization effect, which is attributed to the accumulation of charges at the cellulose microcrystalline/matrix interface. Furthermore, the thermal analysis of their relaxation frequency and the electrical conductivity behaviors showed that the activation energy of these composite is more pronounced for the temperatures above the glass transition temperature, suggesting that the interaction between MCC particles and polymeric matrix became significant with the increase of temperature.

Thermal analyses were performed, using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, which allowed us to observe significant changes in glass transition temperatures and degradation temperatures of the composites. Dielectric measurements were performed in a frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 MHz and temperature from –33 to 107°C. The dielectric permittivity values of the CNT/Gt/Polyester ternary composites, compared to the Gt/Polyester binary composites, indicate that the addition of CNT particles to the Gt/Polyester binary system significantly improved the dielectric permittivity, due to the enhanced interfacial polarization of the host matrix, while the frequency dependence of the electrical modulus spectra revealed a Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars dielectric relaxation process that was found to f...

Research paper thumbnail of Polyester/Graphite Percolating Composite: Structural and Dielectric Analyses

Journal of Electronic Materials

Their structural characterization was performed using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), providing information about the dispersion of fillers within the matrix. Electrical measurements were carried out in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 10 MHz and temperature from 30°C to 100°C. It was found that when the filler concentration is above the percolation threshold and the temperature above the glass transition, the positive temperature coefficient of resistance is identified. The mechanism responsible for this behavior was attributed to the tunneling effect. The Nyquist representations of the complex impedance spectra were modeled using the Cole–Cole model. The obtained values of the α exponent that gauges the broadening of the loss spectrum suggest a behavior close to a model of a single relaxation time.

That conductivity data was analyzed and interpreted in order to identify the conduction mec hanisms and to observe the doping effect of CB particles on the EAB matrix. It shows that the cond uction, in the high temperature region ( T > Tg), is due to thermally activated tunneling of charge carriers in the band, and, in the low temperature range ( T < Tg), conduction takes place through variable range ho pping in the localized states near the Fermi level.

The impedance spectroscopy technique was used to measure the resistance and capacity characterizing each sample in a frequency range 100 Hz–1 MHz and a temperature range 300–400 K. Two formalisms were used to analyze the data: (a) the electrical conductivity which has found to follow the Jonscher’s law with single and double exponents for carbon nanotube concentrations below and above the percolation threshold, respectively, and (b) the complex impedance that has permitted to identify the relaxation peaks according to the Cole–Cole model. Both the two formalisms showed that when the carbon nanotube concentration is higher than the percolation threshold, a positive temperature coefficient and a remarkable change in conductivity were observed, suggesting that the presence of t...
