electrical resistivity survey is used to explore subsurface layers in hydrology, geology, mining, geotechnical and environmental investigations. the resistivity measurements are normally made by injecting current into the ground through two current electrodes, and measuring the resulting voltage difference at two potential electrodes. electrical resistivity is a function of injection current, m...

This paper reports the development of a lead-free brush material for high-load starter motors. These brushes can be used in much more extreme conditions --at a PV-value (the product of the brush contact pressure and sliding velocity) approximately three times that of conventional starter motor brushes, and double the electrical current density. The major technical requirement for this developme...

We studied the electrical and optical properties, density, and crystalline structure of Au nanostructures prepared by direct current sputtering on glass. We measured temperature dependence of sheet resistance and current-voltage characteristics and also performed scanning electron microscopy [SEM] analysis of gold nanolayers. It was shown that within the wide range of temperatures, gold nanolay...

The quantum transport computations have been carried on four different width of zigzag graphene using a nonequilibrium Green’s function method combined with density functional theory. The computed properties are included transmittance spectrum, electrical current and quantum conductance at the 0.3V as bias voltage.  The considered systems were composed from one-layer graphene sheets differing w...

A protective coating has been applied onto the phosphated panels using cathodic electrocoating in two different dry film thickness namely 8µm and 20µm. The corrosion resistance of cathodic electrocoatings has been studied using AC/DC/AC method. Twelve cycles of AC/DC/AC test were carried out on each sample which the DC voltage of the first 6 cycles were -4 V VS. Ag/AgCl @ 20 minutes followed by...

We report the direct measurement of electrical transport through rod-like polymer molecules, of poly(ethyl propiolate) (PEP), utilizing single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as electrodes. The electrical properties of the devices were measured (i) before cutting a SWNT, (ii) when a SWNT was cut and (iii) after PEP deposition into the nanoscale gap in a cut SWNT. The gate-dependent electrical p...
