Cadmium electrical resistivity

CdSe, CdTe. CdSe films have been grown from complexed (with tartaric acid and triethanolamine) cadmium acetate or cadmium sulfate solutions and sodium selenosullale.1272 81 84 The films were amorphous or nanocrystalline with an average crystallite size of 6nm. The optical band gap was 1.8-2.1 eV, and the electrical resistivity was of the order 104-106Qcm. 

Galvanoaluminum, due to its high purity, has a low electric resistance and a correspondingly high therm2il conductivity. Its electric resistance is about 1.8 times higher than that of electrolytically deposited copper and silver layers, but it is only one third of that of cadmium layers [177].

High purity copper is an essential component in the electronics industry, and a number of trace elements can decrease the conductivity of copper. As electrical resistance translates into energy losses as heat fiR), manufacturers are anxious to ensure the lowest resistance of copper wiring in circuitry so that they can reduce both the energy and heat load in electrical and electronic equipment. Most trace impurities increase the resistivity of copper and so manufacturers look to develop the highest purity copper for applications in the electronics industry. Cadmium appears to have the least effect upon copper resistivity. 

As reported in [125, 127], cadmium sulfide semiconductor wafers have been used as such a surface the conductance of these wafers was varied by exposure to light. The least adhesion was found for the surface that had been illuminated (Fig. IV.3, curve 3). The adhesion interaction correlates with the electrical resistance of the CdS wafer. When the wafer was protected from light, this resistance was 7 10 f2 after brief exposure to light it was 3 10 f2, and after extended exposure it dropped off to 5 10 The work function drops off upon illumination since the surface conductance increases and the resistance drops off. The increase in work function of the CdS brings about an equivalent decrease in adhesion (Fig. IV.3). 

Cadmium. Cadmium is resistant to corrosion, malleable, ductile, and of high electrical and thermal conductivity. It is mostly used in rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. It is also used to make electronic components and pigments for plastics, glasses, ceramics, enamels, and artists colors. 

One version of the microporous, filled polyethylene separator ( PowerSep ) [113], which is so successful in the lead-acid battery, is also being tested in nickel-cadmium batteries. This separator is manufactured largely in the same way and also has similar properties to those described in Section 11.2.2.1. Of course, silica cannot be used as a filler, but has to be replaced by an alkali-resistant substance, for example, titanium dioxide. The resulting separator membrane excels, with very small pore sizes and low electrical resistance as well as outstanding mechanical properties. A comprehensive presentation of the different separation materials follows in Section 11.3.5.

Cadmium also provides a sacrificial coating to steel which gives better protection than zinc in applications where strong acids and alkalis may be encountered and those involving immersion in stagnant or soft neutral waters. It should be used in applications involving bimetallic contact with aluminium and in electrical applications where ease of solderability is important. Cadmium has a low torque resistance and should be used as a coating material in cases where bolted assemblies have to be frequently...
