چکیده

Surfactant molecules in a non-polar liquid form charged and uncharged inverse micelles. When a potential difference is applied over the mixture, the charged inverse micelles drift towards the electrode with the opposite polarity. The motion of charges is associated with a transient current, which can be measured in an external circuit. In this paper, transient currents and steady state charge densities are described analytically in different ranges of parameter values (applied voltage, charge density, device thickness, mobility,...). The generation of additional charged inverse micelles and the electrophoretic motion of colloidal particles in the mixture is modelled and measured experimentally.

Final Report: Charge Transport in Nonaqueous Liquid Electrolytes: A Paradigm Shift

Final Report: Charge Transport in Nonaqueous Liquid Electrolytes: A Paradigm Shift Report Title We studied the temperature-dependence of mass and charge transport (ionic conductivity, self-diffusion, fluidity, and dielectric relaxation) in polar organic liquids and their electrolytes. Previous studies have described transport in terms of mutually incompatible models that provide inadequate desc...

Probing charge scattering mechanisms in suspended graphene by varying its dielectric environment.

Graphene with high carrier mobility μ is required both for graphene-based electronic devices and for the investigation of the fundamental properties of Dirac fermions. An attractive approach to increase the mobility is to place graphene in an environment with high static dielectric constant κ that would screen the electric field due to the charged impurities present near graphene's surface. Her...

DERIVING THE EQUATION OF STATE FOR LIQUIDS AND EXTENSION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDING STATES

A new simple model is introduced for a liquid and an equation of state is derived based on this model and the statistical mechanical calculations. This equation of state works well for the non-polar and slightly polar liquids. The important conclusion that may be deduced from this equation of state is that if the reduced variables of state are chosen and defined appropriately, then, the pri...

Kelvin probe force microscopy in liquid using electrochemical force microscopy

Conventional closed loop-Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) has emerged as a powerful technique for probing electric and transport phenomena at the solid-gas interface. The extension of KPFM capabilities to probe electrostatic and electrochemical phenomena at the solid-liquid interface is of interest for a broad range of applications from energy storage to biological systems. However, the ope...

Low-Temperature, Solution-Processed, Transparent Zinc Oxide-Based Thin-Film Transistors for Sensing Various Solvents

A low temperature solution-processed thin-film transistor (TFT) using zinc oxide (ZnO) film as an exposed sensing semiconductor channel was fabricated to detect and identify various solution solvents. The TFT devices would offer applications for low-cost, rapid and highly compatible water-soluble detection and could replace conventional silicon field effect transistors (FETs) as bio-sensors. In...
