The microstructure of partially molten rocks plays a key role in determining their physical properties. The area fraction of intergranular contact, contiguity, governs the establishment of a skeletal framework of solid grains and controls the effective elastic moduli of the aggregate. This work presents a theoretical…

In complex high voltage components local insulation defects can cause partial discharges (PD). Especially in highly stressed gas insulated switchgear (GIS) these PD affected defects can lead to major blackouts. Today each PD activity on important insulation components causes an intervention of an expert, who has to id…

On the basis of the kinetic model for liquids, which gave a quantitative description of liquid substructures, atomic relaxations in a model liquid were calculated. A crossover temperature Tcoop was recognized: relaxations were noncooperative at temperatures above Tcoop while cooperative below Tcoop. The cooperation in…

The permittivity and structure of commercial SiC powders before and after thermal diffusion of aluminum were explored in this study. The X‐ray diffraction analysis and permittivity results show that heat treatment at 2000°C for 1 h has no influence not only on the structure of the SiC powders but also on the permittiv…

We have synthesised and evaluated the physical properties of some high birefringence, lateral difluoro‐terphenyl compounds and mixtures. These mixtures exhibit a high birefringence (Δn∼0.24) in the visible spectral range and a relatively low viscosity. When doped in commercial mixtures, the difluoro‐terphenyl compound…
