Improving Short-Circuit Current Capacity, Resistance, and Breaking Load of OPGW Constructions by Modifying Aluminium Alloy With AlB2

This article presents a method that can be applied to molten AA-6101 alloy to improve electrical properties of the aluminium part of the optical ground wire (OPGW) used in overhead transmission lines to protect phase conductors from lightning strike and to transmit signals and data. AA-6101 alloy in casting of the log as 6 m length and 178 mm diameter for extrusion has been inoculated by AlB₂ to decrease detrimental effects of Cr, Ti, V, and Zr on the conductivity of the material. After inoculation, improved billets were extruded as 9.5 mm diameter feedstock. Required wires drawn from the feedstock according to the construction types of OPGW to be tested were exposed to aging at 175°C, 6 h (T-8). Upon completion of the back-twist and performing-type stranding process, resistance, and short-circuit current capacity and breaking load of the OPGW 88/44 constructions with other metal combinations have been examined and tested to show improvement. Results are summarized in tables and graphically.     

Hopping and optical absorption of electrons in nano-porous crystal 12CaO·7Al2O3

Recently it has been discovered that a nano-porous main group oxide 12CaO·7Al₂O₃ (C12A7) can be converted from a wide-gap insulator to a good transparent conductor. Using ab initio modelling we explain good conductivity of this material by very small barriers for hopping of localised electrons between neighbouring positive cages. We show that optical absorption of C12A7 in infrared region and at energies higher than 2.7 eV is due to inter-cage and intra-cage electron transitions, respectively. The proposed mechanisms can be useful in further search for conducting transparent media.     

Conductive Mechanism of Organic Conductor

Organic conductor is a kind of organic compound which has special electronic and magnetic properties. The research of the organic compounds has received considerable attention because of their potential applications in many areas. The molecular conductive units are theoretically investigated as well as their energy gap and charge distribution. The relationship of conductivity and micro-mechanism is discussed.     

Electrical and optical properties of fluorine-doped CdO films deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis

The CdO:F samples have been deposited onto microscope glass substrates at 250 °C by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method. With the incorporation of fluorine into CdO, the direct optical transition has shifted towards the shorter wavelengths, and the transparency of the material has increased at a given wavelength above the fundamental absorption edge. The shift in the absorption edge is explained by means of the Moss–Burstein effect, which is also supported with the results of the current–voltage characteristics. Here, a correlation has been established between the band broadening and the increase in conductivity due to the increase in carrier density.     

A new family of ionic liquids based on the 1-alkyl-2-methyl pyrrolinium cation

Five new salts based on 1-alkyl-2-methyl pyrrolinium ion are reported, two involving the iodide ion and three involving the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) amide ion. The iodide salts have melting points around 100 °C, while the amide salts have melting points around room temperature. Two of the amide salts can be easily quenched into the glassy state and exhibit glass transition temperatures around −70 °C. The 2-methyl pyrrolinium cation bears structural similarities to the aromatic imidazolium cations on one hand and the cyclic ammonium cation family based on the pyrrolidinium cation on the other. The properties of the salts reported here are compared within these two related families of salts.

Mechanism of iodine vapor sorption in polyacetylene

Simultaneous measurements of weight uptake and conductivity variation during iodine vapor sorption of polyacetylenes (PA) at 20–25°C show that the sorption is a two-stages process. For the first stage, iodine diffusion to the fibrilar surface of the cis-rich and trans-rich PA is of Knudsen type pore diffusion as supported by the sorption measurements of hexane for the cis-rich PA, and has a diffusion coefficient in the order of 10⁷ cm²/sec. Conductivity of the PA rises rapidly and reaches a maximum at end of the stage. For the second stage, the diffusion is more restrictive and has a diffusion coefficient lower than the first stage by a factor of about 10 due to multilayer sorption of iodine, which leads to a decrease in the pore diameter and therefor the diffusion rate. In addition to the restricted diffusion in the second stage, diffusion of the iodine molecules adsorped on the fibrilar surface into the interior of the fibrils is appreciable for cis-rich PA (leading to a conductivity drop) and is negliglible for tran-rich PA (leading to insignificant variation in conductivity).     

Water uptake of water-borne paint resin films as studied by impedance spectroscopy and gravimetry

Impedance spectroscopy and gravimetry were employed to characterize alkyd-acrylate and styrene-acrylate water-borne resin film properties during wetting-through (i.e. during water uptake).
