Direct current (DC) gas breakdown is experimentally investigated for high-voltage circular conductors and insulators that reproduce the main features of a satellite slip ring. Breakdown voltages are measured in the pressure range 10 ...
Donor doping is commonly applied for softening of the piezoelectric and dielectric properties and facilitation of polarization switching in the ubiquitous Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 [PZT] ceramics. The origin of the donor-dopant effects is not entirely clear. (Pb,Ba)ZrO ...

We study the interaction of intense THz magnetic fields with ferromagnetic thin films. At higher field intensities, the THz electric field starts playing a role, strongly changing the dielectric properties of the cobalt thin film. ...

Solvent cast and compression molded composite films based on poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene), containing pristine and silylated BaTiO3 particles, were poled, and their electromechanical response (d(33)), their dielectric properties, and the cry ...

The dielectric permittivity (epsilon') of a polymeric material can be significantly increased when blended with conductive fillers at concentrations approaching the percolation threshold. However, reproducible synthesis of such composites is after decades ...

A series of novel polysiloxanes is presented, the glass transition temperatures and dielectric properties of which are systematically fine-tuned by utilizing thiol-ene post-polymerization reactions. The pendant vinyl groups of a high molecular weight polym ...

Micron- and submicron-sized barium titanate (BaTiO3) particles, untreated and surface modified with aminopropyl triethoxy silane, were incorporated in poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) to fabricate composites with up to 60 vol% of ceramic phase. ...

We perform ab initio calculations of the coupling between electrons and small-momentum polar-optical phonons in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides of the 2H type: MoS2, MoSe2, MoTe2, WS2, and WSe2. The polar-optical coupling with longitudinal optic ...

Materials exhibiting a gradient in permittivity are synthesized through the application of an external magnetic field to a suspension of Fe3O4@TiO2 nanoparticles in an epoxy matrix. It is shown how the application of the magnetic field not only induces the ...

There is currently great interest in understanding the limits on NMR signal enhancements provided by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), and in particular if the theoretical maximum enhancements can be achieved. We show that over a 2-fold improvement in cr ...
