Electronic charge transport

Electronic charge transport has been measured for (PhMeGe) with Mw values of 2000 and 5700, Mw/Mn... 

Thus two varieties of rate coefficient have been extensively used. One is the number of reactant molecules chemically changed (or alternatively the number of product molecules formed) per unit (electronic) charge transported, p, which is formally, but not physically, analogous to the electrochemical equivalent in electrolysis. This concept was refined by Kirkby into the "activity of a discharge, P = dp/dz, the... 

In another electrodeposition experiment the conductivity was measured, C-14 dispersant transfer was determined, and a particle count was made by TEM on the anode. From these measurements it was found that there was one electronic charge transported for each dispersant molecule on the cathode, and one electronic charge for each 10 cnr of carbon surface.

HMX or 1,3,5,7-tetranitro 1,3,5,7-tetrazacyclooctane exists in four polymorphic forms. These are molecular crystals. Both intramolecular excitons and intermolecular (charge transfer) excitons are predicted. Electronic charge transport depends on overlap of the molecular wave-functions and is therefore enhanced by the pressures (10 atm) in the shock wave during detonation. The mobilities of both types of excitons are also enhanced by pressure. 

In SEs, ionic and electronic charge transport is associated with deviations... 

Such high concentrations of gap states attached to the valence band essentially affect the electronic charge transport in particular, they are responsible for the p-type character and the very low electrical conductivity. Aside from the electric conductivity in extended band states, a hopping-type conduction must be expected in localized gap states. The electronic properties of boron carbide can be consistently described by a band scheme, which highlights deep energy levels in the band gap (2.09 eV) at 0.065, 0.18, 0.47, 0.77, 0.92 and 1.2 eV (values based on optical measurements), related to the valence band edge. This allows the largely consistent description of all reliable experimental results [537]. 

The RRE approach has successfolly been applied to extract stacking distances in a perylene tetracarboxydiimide derivative, Cgj-PDI [86]. The supramolecular arrangement of these PDI derivatives allows for ID electronic charge transport, an attractive property for the fabrication of nanoscale devices such as organic solar cells. 

The contact between two (nominally fiat) surfaces is known to occur as varying numbers of random, clustered microcontacts (Dyson and Hirst, 1954). A thermal or electrical contact resistance can result from quantum effects and from constrictions to the localized electronic flow near asperities (i.e., the microscopic, nonquantum contacts of arbitrary size and varying cluster distributions). The type of electronic transport and the size dependence of the constriction resistance depend on the electronic charge transport at microscopic scales. 

There are two major types of charged species electrons and ions. In most fuel cells, ionic charge transport is far more difficult than electronic charge transport as ionic conductivity is generally 4-8 orders of magnitude lower than the electronic conductivity. Therefore, the ionic contribution to ohmic losses tends to be the dominating factor in fuel cell kinetics. From Equation (11.13), we also know that the ohmic loss is proportional to the electrolyte thickness. Hence, fuel cell electrolytes are designed to be as thin as possible in order to reduce the ohmic loss. 

In 1972 the photovoltaic effect was first demonstrated in devices with nematic liquid crystals by means of ionic conduction [36]. Although electronic charge transport was widely researched in these materials [37, 38], it was not until 2006 that electronic conduction was first applied to photovoltaics in nematics [39]. A novel approach based on reactive mesogens was used to create a D-A bilayer with a distributed interface. Reactive mesogens are polymerisable equivalents of small molecule LCs, but with two additional polymerisable groups, one at each end of a flexible aliphatic spacer attached to the aromatic core. Chapters 2 and 5 discusses charge transport in these materials. Figure 8.8 illustrates the photopolymerisation of such molecules.
