Analysis of Electric Field and Polarization of SF6 Circuit Breaker to Approach a Suitable Structure

Abstract: The application of electric field theory to widely different aspects of electrical insulation has led to more understanding the phenomena. Electric fields may be considered as the main reason for insulation failure. The purpose of this paper is to modify importance of analyzing electric field in insulation design. The SF6 circuit breaker is chosen as case study that encounters cri...

Silicane nanoribbons: electronic structure and electric field modulation

We present electronic band structure, Gibbs free energy of formation, and electric field modulation calculations for silicane nanoribbons (NRs), i.e., completely hydrogenated or fluorinated silicene NRs, using density functional theory. We find that although the completely hydrogenated silicene (H-silicane) sheet in the chair-like configuration is an indirect-band-gap semiconductor, a direct ba...

Sign of the Electric Field Gradient Tensor

Electric field gradient effects in raman spectroscopy.

Raman spectra of materials subject to strong electric field gradients, such as those present near a metal surface, can show significantly altered selection rules. We describe a new mechanism by which the field gradients can produce Raman-like lines. We develop a theoretical model for this "gradient-field Raman" effect, discuss selection rules, and compare to other mechanisms that produce Raman-...

Electric Field Gradient in Aluminium due to Vacancy and Muon *

The electric field gradients (EFG) in aluminium due to a monovacancy and the interstitial muon are evaluated. The valence effect EFG q is calculated using perturbed electron density ön(r) values obtained from density functional theory in an analytic expression which is valid at all distances from the impurity. The size effect E F G q is evaluated using a new oscillatory form for the near neighb...
