Group electron mobility

Tautomerism, strictly defined, could be used to describe the reversible interconversion of isomers, in all cases and under all conditions. In practice, the term has increasingly been restricted to isomers that are fairly readily interconvertible, and that differ from each other only (a) in electron distribution, and (b) in the position of a relatively mobile atom or group. The mobile atom is, in the great majority of examples, hydrogen, and the phenomenon is then referred to as prototropy. Familiar examples are / -ketoesters, e.g. ethyl 2-ketobutano-ate (ethyl acetoacetate, 23), and aliphatic nitro compounds, e.g. nitro-methane (24) ... 

Many suitable molecules can be designed, with end-groups chosen for SAM formation with dissimilar metal electrodes. For instance, two Au and one A1 electrode could be used. The molecule 0 2A would have two -SH terminations to bond to Au, and one -COOH end group (on D2) to bond to Al. The electron path between the two Au electrodes would traverse a donor moiety Dj with low IPD and an acceptor moiety A, while the path from the Al electrode to the second Au electrode would traverse a weaker donor moiety D2 (with larger IPd) and the common acceptor moiety A. The larger electron current would flow between the two Au electrodes, because the intra-molecular electron mobility would be larger Dj —> A, while the smaller electron current would flow D2 —> A. The smaller... 

The fundamental physical properties of nanowire materials can be improved even more to surpass their bulk counterpart using precisely engineered NW heterostructures. It has been recently demonstrated that Si/Ge/Si core/shell nanowires exhibit electron mobility surpassing that of state-of-the-art technology.46 Group III-V nitride core/shell NWs of multiple layers of epitaxial structures with atomically sharp interfaces have also been demonstrated with well-controlled and tunable optical and electronic properties.47,48 Together, the studies demonstrate that semiconductor nanowires represent one of the best-defined nanoscale building block classes, with well-controlled chemical composition, physical size, and superior electronic/optical properties, and therefore, that they are ideally suited for assembly of more complex functional systems. 

Electron or hole nature of the charge transfer may be realized in PVC-TNF Cl complexes depending on the concentration of the components [54]. The contribution of holes and electrons in conductivity is equal at the PVC-TNF ratio 1 1. Gill s experimental data for mobilities is shown in Fig. 10. The sharp concentration decrease of the neutral, noncoupled complex carbazole groups, leads to the fast decrease of the hole mobility. The electron mobility increase with increase of the TNF content was also accompanied by an increase of the... 

Metal Oxides. The metal oxides are defined as oxides of the metals occurring in Groups 3—12 (IIIB to IIB) of the Periodic Table. These oxides, characterized by high electron mobility and the positive oxidation state of the metal, are generally less active as catalysts than are the supported nobel metals, but the oxides are somewhat more resistant to poisoning. The most active single-metal oxide catalysts for complete oxidation of a variety of oxidation reactions are usually found to be the oxides of the first-row transition metals, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu.
