When treated with Ij vapor, the reduced segments are oxidatively doped to the conducting state. Figure 5 presents the results of the electrical conductivity temperature dependence as a function film oxidation level prior to doping. The room temperature conductivity of the R = 0.00 film doped with 1.0 M HCl was measured to be 0.22 S/cm. With increasing R, the conductivity of the Ij doped films increases, and can be interpreted in terms of the quasi-lD variable range hopping mechanism (Equation 3) [16,14]... 

To resume the experimental situation it is necessary to point out that these longitudinal or planar electrical conducting temperature dependences have to be classified following the rule of [Ioffe and Riegel] [333]. There is a borderline between real metals where the electronic motion is wave-like and conductors where the electronic motion is rather of hopping type. The critical regime occurs when the mean free path of charge carriers (/), is about the distance between molecular sites (i.e., where kp is the Fermi...

SS For an intrinsic semiconductor whose electrical conductivity is dependent on temperature per Equation 18.36, generate a spreadsheet that allows the user to determine the temperature at which the electrical conductivity is some specified value, given values of the constant C and the band gap energy Eg. 

Materials are usually classified according to the specific conductivity mode, eg, as insulators, which have low conductivity and low mobihty of carriers. Metahic conductors, which include some oxides, have a high conductivity value which is not a strong (exponential) function of temperature. Semiconductors are intermediate and have an exponential temperature dependence. Figure 1 gives examples of electrical conductivities at room temperature for these various materials. 

Electrical conduction ia glasses is mainly attributed to the migration of mobile ions such as LE, Na", K", and OH under the influence of an appHed field. At higher temperatures, >250° C, divalent ions, eg, Ca " and Mg ", contribute to conduction, although their mobiUty is much less (14). Conduction ia glass is an activated process and thus the number of conducting ions iacreases with both temperature and field. The temperature—resistivity dependence is given... 

Physical Properties. Most of the physical properties discussed herein depend on the direction of measurement as compared to the bedding plane of the coal. Additionally, these properties vary according to the history of the piece of coal. Properties also vary between pieces because of coal s britde nature and the crack and pore stmcture. One example concerns electrical conductivity. Absolute values of coal sample specific conductivity are not easy to determine. A more characteristic value is the energy gap for transfer of electrons between molecules, which is deterrnined by a series of measurements over a range of temperatures and is unaffected by the presence of cracks. The velocity of sound is also dependent on continuity in the coal. 

To a good approximation, thermal conductivity at room temperature is linearly related to electrical conductivity through the Wiedemann-Eran2 rule. This relationship is dependent on temperature, however, because the temperature variations of the thermal and the electrical conductivities are not the same. At temperatures above room temperature, thermal conductivity of pure copper decreases more slowly than does electrical conductivity. Eor many copper alloys the thermal conductivity increases, whereas electrical conductivity decreases with temperature above ambient. The relationship at room temperature between thermal and electrical conductivity for moderate to high conductivity alloys is illustrated in Eigure 5. 

Temperature The level of the temperature measurement (4 K, 20 K, 77 K, or higher) is the first issue to be considered. The second issue is the range needed (e.g., a few degrees around 90 K or 1 to 400 K). If the temperature level is that of air separation or liquefact-ing of natural gas (LNG), then the favorite choice is the platinum resistance thermometer (PRT). Platinum, as with all pure metals, has an electrical resistance that goes to zero as the absolute temperature decreases to zero. Accordingly, the lower useful limit of platinum is about 20 K, or liquid hydrogen temperatures. Below 20 K, semiconductor thermometers (germanium-, carbon-, or silicon-based) are preferred. Semiconductors have just the opposite resistance-temperature dependence of metals—their resistance increases as the temperature is lowered, as fewer valence electrons can be promoted into the conduction band at lower temperatures. Thus, semiconductors are usually chosen for temperatures from about 1 to 20 K. 

Ebbesen[4] was the first to estimate a conductivity of the order of lO fim for the black core bulk material existing in two thirds of tubes and one third of nanoparticles. From this observation, it may naturally be inferred that the carbon arc deposit must contain material that is electrically conducting. An analysis of the temperature dependence of the zero-field resistivity of similar bulk materials[14,15] indicated that the absolute values of the conductivity were very sample dependent. 

The toughness of a material is a design driver in many structures subjected to impact loading. For those materials that must function under a wide range of temperatures, the temperature dependence of the various material properties is often of primary concern. Other structures are subjected to wear or corrosion, so the resistance of a material to those attacks is an important part of the material choice. Thermal and electrical conductivity can be design drivers for some applications, so materials with proper ranges of behavior for those factors must be chosen. Similarly, the acoustical and thermal insulation characteristics of materials often dictate the choice of materials. 

ESR can detect unpaired electrons. Therefore, the measurement has been often used for the studies of radicals. It is also useful to study metallic or semiconducting materials since unpaired electrons play an important role in electric conduction. The information from ESR measurements is the spin susceptibility, the spin relaxation time and other electronic states of a sample. It has been well known that the spin susceptibility of the conduction electrons in metallic or semimetallic samples does not depend on temperature (so called Pauli susceptibility), while that of the localised electrons is dependent on temperature as described by Curie law. 

Ebbesen and Ajayan [16] measured a conductivity of the order of 10 2 Ocm in the blaek eore bulk material, inferring that the carbon arc deposit contains electrically conducting entities. A subsequent analysis of the temperature dependenee of the eleetrieal resistivity of similar bulk materials [17,18] revealed that the resistivities were strongly sample dependent.

Following the general trend of looldng for a molecular description of the properties of matter, self-diffusion in liquids has become a key quantity for interpretation and modeling of transport in liquids [5]. Self-diffusion coefficients can be combined with other data, such as viscosities, electrical conductivities, densities, etc., in order to evaluate and improve solvodynamic models such as the Stokes-Einstein type [6-9]. From temperature-dependent measurements, activation energies can be calculated by the Arrhenius or the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher equation (VTF), in order to evaluate models that treat the diffusion process similarly to diffusion in the solid state with jump or hole models [1, 2, 7].
