Ionic Conductivity and Mobility of Poly(propylene oxide) Networks Dissolving Alkali Metal Thiocyanates

The Melting Mechanism of the Alkali Thiocyanates

where Ws and WL represent the number of independent ways of realizing the arrangements of solid and melt respectively and Sf is the entropy of fusion. Each new kind of disorder which occurs on passing from the crystal to the melt involves a new mechanism of randomization on melting. Ubbelohde! has summarized the different ways of randomization in the transition from the solid to the melt as pos...

Molecular dynamics simulation of ionic mobility. I. Alkali metal cations in water at 25 C

We describe a series of molecular dynamics simulations performed on model cation-water systems at 25 “C representing the behavior of Li+, Na+, K+, Rbf, and Cs+ in an electric field of 1.0 V/nm and in its absence. The TIP4P model was used for water and TIPS potentials were adapted for the ion-water interactions. The structure of the surrounding water molecules around the cations was found to be ...

Ionic conductivity in oxide heterostructures: the role of interfaces.

Rapidly growing attention is being directed to the investigation of ionic conductivity in oxide film heterostructures. The main reason for this interest arises from interfacial phenomena in these heterostructures and their applications. Recent results revealed that heterophase interfaces have faster ionic conduction pathways than the bulk or homophase interfaces. This finding can open attractiv...
