It is well-known that for a polar dielectric liquid exhibiting a single relaxation time, graphs of the real and imaginary parts of the permittivity against the logarithm of frequency are of the hyperbolic tangent and hyperbolic secant type, respectively. This was first predicted by Debye, but it was pointed out later…

Nanocrystalline films of SnO 2 were deposited by liquid flow deposition (LFD), i.e., by flowing aqueous solutions of SnCl 4 ·5H 2 O and HCl over single‐crystalline silicon substrates at 80°C. The substrates were either oxidized and fully hydrolyzed (bare silicon) or oxidized, hydrolyzed, and then coated with siloxy‐an…

The addition of nitrogen to duplex stainless steel weld metal has been achieved and the resultant weld metals have been assessed for their microstructural features and corrosion behaviour. It was found that, although autogenous welding of duplex stainless steels is not recommended, the addition of nitrogen through the…

Polyimides are commonly used as organic passivation layers for microelectronic devices due to their unique combination of low dielectric constant, high thermal stability, and excellent mechanical properties. Polyimides are well known to have poor adhesion to epoxy resins. Many surface treatment methods have been devel…

We present ab initio calculations of phonons in single-wall boron-nitride (BN) nanotubes. Raman and infrared (IR) active modes of isolated and infinitely long tubes are evaluated according to the nonsymmorphic rod groups of BN nanotubes. For tubes of finite length, the selection rules are less restrictive and give ris…

This investigation focuses on the study of the dissolution by annealing of carbides present in thin walled ductile iron parts. Ledeburitic carbides are usually present in the microstructure as a consequence of the rapid solidification rate induced by the small thickness. The dissolution treatment is carried out by ann…

Thermodynamic information is critical for the assessment of the reactivity and stability of materials. New procedures have recently been developed that provide straightforward predictive methods for estimating lattice energy and standard entropy of conventional salts. These procedures also open up new possibilities fo…

This paper presents a new technique for detection and localization of partial discharges (PD) in large rotating machines. In this technique, denoted "InTech", a stator winding with (n) coils is equipped with (n + 1) inductive sensors; as a result, every stator coil is situated between two sensors. The measurement is t…

We present results from dielectric spectroscopy on four molecular glass-formers, both in bulk and in confined geometry. For systems exhibiting a well-resolved secondary (β) relaxation, the confinement induces a relative enhancement (compared to the main α relaxation) of the effective dielectric strength of the β proce…
